At least.. the spring has come and the winter is gone!!! (as for winter, it could be cancelled for me).I got a message from Beata - my katrabaho (LOL, =my workmate), who wanted to go biking, cuz the weather was 'splendide'! But since she lives 20km from my town we had to make an appointment somwher…

We took the bus back to Krakow early morning and arrived nicely on time. Yet we had pre booked tickets for the train to Warsaw and so we had to wait quite a long time in the station. The weather was sad and rainy and we had to carry all the luggage, so we decided not to head back to the center of K…

It's raining here in Warsaw, but we've decided to head for Bialowieza anyway, leaving a little before 9 a.m., first towards Bialystok.

Today it’s All Saint’s Day in the (Roman) Catholic Church. That means today Poles make a massive cemetery trips in order to fulfill the tradition  of lighting candles and visiting the graves of deceased relatives. As Halloween has it’s roots in celtic „Samhain”, Slavic …

I've just checked in in our hostel after walking so many miles. And what did I do? Ran to the computer of course! I sent two SMS to Wayne and he did not reply though he told me to ring him, he was supposed to see me at the station. I think I saw him though on the streets with a green shirt and…

We woke up pretty late - some had already absolved the bath in the river - and this without telling me a word!!! Jerks! I wanted to swim as well! Ok i will do this later in the day. Maybe i could fall into the water unexpected - or we find some nice place for swimming on our way.   T…

DAY ONE.Oh yes, Day One. I even name days now, I just thought I should go up one step higher with my blogging abilities and disabilites. I made it past the German speaking German people when I checked in for my flight in Stuttgart without having to speak more than two hundred German letters. It's a…

I got in to Krakow; my flight was from Munich early in the morning, so I did not get any sleep.  After getting in to Krakow proper, I decided to stop by my university to ask about my housing, I hadn’t received any information yet, just an email from the secretary of my program saying I would…

Unfortunatly i wasn't able to sleep to well due to the fact one of the guys came up to our room to sleep in the middle in a very very small bed. His room partner had thrown up so he couldn't stand the smell:) Anyways, after trying to sleep he finally got up and dressed himself to go downstairs to h…

Wadowice - the name of the town jingled in my mind so long that to stop it I took a trip, very fruitful trip ... The name Wadowice town appears for the firs time in 1327. The town carriest the proud title of ROYAL FREE TOWN of WADOWICE and the crest even today includes a royal crown.&nbs…

I've never owned a bicycle, therefore my cycling skills are pretty much non- existent. I had mentioned this to Barbara, my Polish friend and guide, and she took to teaching me to ride a bike. Clearly, she didn't see this as a big deal, only that she didn't know what an insurmountable task this was.…

So, as u may already be aware - i'm a freak about metro maps. That's why i will show u some examples of my 'stuff' ;) There are hundrets of in my collection - i collect the official maps (which are the most worth) but also post cards with maps and mugs or other stuff with metro maps on. If u have s…

We also started very slow on this wonderful Sunday morning. The sun was shining like the two prior days and like the day before I let my hosts take easy and take their time. They slowly woke up and we had a great breakfast and discussed the plan for the day. Our first goal was to att…

Funka was one of my fauvorite vacation's place when I was a teenager. Orginaly it's a scout camp situated at the Charzykowski Lake in some National Park (Zaborski, maybe. Not sure, we've got plenty of them). I loved the time that I spent there with my friends.  It was kind of art-language-spo…

Sunny wednesday, afternoon, nobody could expect that in few minutes Zielona Góra will be attacked by another filipino (it seemes they come here every 6 months to harras harmful, nice poles at their homes;) Mike was traveling again around Europe so kindly he crashed at my place, since it was so clo…
