Today was a day remembering our friend, Zbyszek, who passed away 1 year ago. With good, clear weather, we made the decision to go to the Morkowo cemetery to visit his and his wife's grave. I debated whether to buy flowers and candles. In the end, I thought something more relative was a little pitcher from Sowa's with a flower in it. You can see it in the pictures.
It wasn't exactly the trip I had planned. Last year, going to Zbyszek's funeral with my friend Joanna driving, we took the new highway S5 and used her GPS to know where to get off. I thought I would do the same thing. However, soon after getting on the highway, my GPS didn't show the new highway. The map is 10 years old and not updated. I drove on looking for a sign with a name close to Morkowo. When I saw Lipo, I got off the highway and reset my GPS. It showed the road I was on and the direction. Again, the road disappeared leaving me with no idea which way to go. I drove around until a road appeared but it didn't last for long. I ended up driving on tiny dirt roads through a forest until I came upon a paved highway. I followed it and finally after 2 hours and arrived at the cemetery,
There were only a few people there cleaning headstones, Morkowo is a very small village. It was easy to find Zbyszeks place with his wife. We placed the Sowa pitcher on the headstone, I took the pictures and we returned home via the old way.
The old way was only a road with 2 lanes, 1 coming and 1 going, Now it is a four-lane road connected to the S5 highway and we got back home in 1 hour.
Dzisiejszy dzie艅 by艂 dniem na wspominanie naszego przyjaciela Zbyszka, kt贸ry odszed艂 rok temu. Przy dobrej, bezchmurnej pogodzie podj臋li艣my decyzj臋, 偶e pojedziemy na cmentarz w Morkowie, aby odwiedzi膰 gr贸b jego i jego 偶ony. Debatowa艂em, czy kupi膰 kwiaty i znicze. W ko艅cu uzna艂em, 偶e czym艣 bardziej odnosz膮cym si臋 do niego i do nas, b臋dzie ma艂y dzbanek od Sowy z kwiatkiem w 艣rodku. Mo偶ecie go zobaczy膰 na zdj臋ciach.
Nie by艂 to do ko艅ca wyjazd, kt贸ry planowa艂em. W zesz艂ym roku, jad膮c na pogrzeb Zbyszka z moj膮 przyjaci贸艂k膮 Joann膮, kt贸ra prowadzi艂a, pojechali艣my now膮 autostrad膮 S5 i korzystaj膮c z jej GPS wiedzieli艣my, jak dotrze膰 na miejsce. Pomy艣la艂em, 偶e zrobi臋 to samo. Jednak wkr贸tce po wjechaniu na autostrad臋, m贸j GPS nie pokaza艂 nowej autostrady. Mapa ma 10 lat i nie jest aktualizowana. Pojecha艂em dalej szukaj膮c znaku z nazw膮 wsi w pobli偶u Morkowa. Kiedy zobaczy艂em Lipo, zjecha艂em z autostrady i zresetowa艂em m贸j GPS. Pokaza艂 drog臋, na kt贸rej by艂em i kierunek. Znowu droga znikn臋艂a pozostawiaj膮c mnie bez pomys艂u, w kt贸r膮 stron臋 jecha膰. Je藕dzi艂em dooko艂a, a偶 na ekranie pojawi艂a si臋 droga, ale nie trwa艂o to d艂ugo. Sko艅czy艂o si臋 na je藕dzie po ma艂ych polnych drogach przez las, a偶 natrafi艂em na utwardzon膮 szos臋. Pod膮偶y艂em ni膮 i w ko艅cu po 2 godzinach dotar艂em na cmentarz,
By艂o tam tylko kilka os贸b czyszcz膮cych nagrobki, Morkowo to bardzo ma艂a wie艣. 艁atwo by艂o znale藕膰 miejsce Zbyszka i 偶ony. Postawili艣my dzbanek Sowy na nagrobku, zrobi艂em zdj臋cia i star膮 drog膮 wr贸cili艣my do domu.
Teraz jest to czteropasmowa droga po艂膮czona z autostrad膮 S5 i wr贸cili艣my do domu w 1 godzin臋.
