Join us for a day trip to Rawa Mazowiecka, a historical town with a castle that witnessed events which inspired one of Shakespeare's plays. On July 2nd (Thursday) we're going to take the 08:54 train from Łódź Fabryczna to Rawa Mazowiecka (it's the train calling at Rogów at 09:29, where we need to change for the bus to Rawa - the bus is part of the train system, so you can buy a direct ticket from Łódź Fabryczna to Rawa Maz. Dworzec Autobusowy). The return bus leaves at 16:27 (back to Łódź Fabryczna at 18:01).

There's also a second visit to Rawa in the making, on July 6th - more details soon.
