Left our trail angel's house at crack of dawn with full stomachs, lunches, and a bag of food and drink--unbelievably hospitable. On entering Brzesko proper, we found St. James church along with mass celebrated at the newer church "next door"--their apses being orthogonal so that being in one felt also like being in the other church (see altars side by side).
One of the priests (with good English) served us coffee and cake, followed by another one asking us to write into their visitors' log (see pic).
The real walking began thereafter, 25 km (16 mi) in all, but for the first time some climbs that took us 500-600 ft up with great views of the surrounding hills. We're still pretty much in southeastern Poland and closing in on Krakow.
