Halina and Stanislaw Bujakowski were lived in Druskininkai, where they’ve met and get married in August 1934. After their marriage, Halina and Stanisław began an extraordinary journey. Its aim was the farthest point on the map achievable motorcycle, from their home in Druskininkai, Poland to Shanghai, China.
They started the journey on 19th August 1934 by a BSA (Birmingham Small Arma) motorcycle G34-14 model with a sidecar. Stanislaw led motorcycle, Halina was sitting in a basket. With her lap typewriter, she kept a journal as well as sending travel logs back to the national magazines in the form of reports. After returning to Poland in 1937, Halina collected them and wrote chronicle from expedition which hasn’t been released until the 2011. Fortunately 70 years later, manustcripts were rediscovered and published as a book “My boy, motorcycle and me. From Druskininkai to Shanghai 1934-1936” edited by Łukasz Wierzbicki.
