LIDICKER 1981 Aug. 20 cont. Hotel. It took about 30 min; then was some light rain & instantaneously heavy fog. Got to bed ~ 01:00. Then is a large scounding jamboree being held in Krakow this weekend & there are many scouts in evidence marching about. Apparently there are 3 national scouting organizations - 1 official & 2 unofficial. After breakfast camped out on my long-distance note writing. At 1400 checked out of hotel & was met by Bogustaw Bobala & his large Italian Fiat. We went first to the University to get my sleeping stuff & a huge tent. On the windward side of the lake I was working & got an excellent view of a Spotted Hyena (Mursicapla). Then we went to the train station. Got on board at 1445 & the train left exactly on time at 1525. This was the last day that a direct train for Krakow to Poznan will be available. Train ride was speeding as we did not arrive in Poznan until 23:05. Stopped at Torgbina (16:06), Mystkowice (16:39) - no Katorwice - multiple stops (17:00+), Tarnawska Gory (18:43), Lubliniec (18:40); Ostrows (21:00). Uh- unexpectedly & was met by Irena Batoniak & her husband. They took me the short distance to the Hotel Mercury. She works as a chemist in Ryozkowski's Institute. Aug. 21 Lack Ryozkowski met me at 10:00 & we walked the few blocks to L.I., Institute (of Ornithology & Forestry). He showed me around & we chatted until noon. This Institute
