Great Continental River Journeys - Rowing Thru Poland EPISODE 6 - Ducal City of Płock

Celebrating Polish Heritage Days 2024 we present the World Premiere of the 6th episode of our epic row through Poland. In this episode we are shown around a monumental, communist building that is now in private hands. We discover why Płock is another royal city.
There are TWO KIDNAPS in this episode! One of them - very tragic.
We, Steve Walker - rowing expert and multiple race winner & Ewa Marcinkowska - rowing enthusiast and a bit competitor, continue our journey down the river Wisła in our Nordic Explorer in our effort to reach Gdańsk in time for the 30th anniversary celebrations of the first free elections in Poland that took place in 1989. Did we make it?
