National Flag Day in Krakow

Today, hundreds of different events were organise across the country, one of them, the 'White and Red relay RMF FM'. At 6 am, the relay carrying the Polish flag left Hel, in the North of Poland, with the flag arriving by boat in Sopot, and then from Gdansk to Warsaw by plane. In the capital, the main point of the program, was a relay of politicians. Another stop was Krakow, where the flag reached the Pendolino by train and driven by Rafal Sonik on Kosciuszko Mound. Finally, the last stop was Zakopane, from where the white and red flag was carried up Mount Giewont, arriving at the peak at about 20:30. On Tuesday, May 2, 2017, in Krakow, Poland.
