The title implies that I can sum up southern Poland in a short blog and a 10 day visit which is absurd. However I can give you some highlights of what I have seen and been impressed by.
The scenery is very lovely, with many areas of old woodlands, green rolling hills, small plots of farmland seeded to various crops which one assumes is by rotation, and mountain areas in the distance. The roads are most often new and without a single pothole even attempting to form. The towns and cities are full of new and modern buildings while there are plenty of magnificent, old churches in excellent condition. The people are remarkably friendly although few speak English except for the younger generation but even so many in the service industry within the shopping malls do not speak English. I also notice that there are very few overweight people and I have not seen one person you would call "obese" despite a lot of fast food chains like MacDonalds and KFC around.
I managed several tours like Auschwitz, the Salt Mines, Paradise Caves and several churches as well as markets and malls. Shopping is very reasonable, while the food and accommodations are very reasonably priced, even cheap.
There is a lot more to see not only in this part of Poland but the other districts as well so I would not say Farewell to Poland but only au revoir!
