A truly magical place :)
August 7, 2005
The story starts one evening in Warsaw. We were hanging out with my friend Asia and it turned out we are both bored of the capital city :P What to do..... what to do.... Some quick research on-line and we've discovered that these are the last days of a film fest in Kazimierz Dolny and on Sunday - the very last day - there were 2 cool movies we definitely had to see. "Howl's Moving Castle" by Hayao Miyazaki (for me) and "Motorcycle Diaries" (for Asia).
Since we had a train to catch ab. 6AM and I'm REALLY not much of a morning person, I decided for the both of us that it would be better to stay up all night and sleep on the train. And so we did, well at least I did, Asia kind of dozed off a bit. Got to the train station, slept on the train to Puławy and on the bus to Kazimierz (must have been a sad view for other passengers :P) Of course we missed our stop and had to walk through half of the town on feet (ok, I admit, it wasn't THAT far, it's a small place after all). The only available hostel we could find in such short notice was quite away from the center and almost by the Vistula river. Lucky us, we get to walk through half of the town to get anywhere while taking all these cool photos ;)
It turned out that tickets for "Motorcycle Diaries" were unfortunately already sold out, but we did manage to catch "Howl's Moving Castle". I was amazed at how many people turned up and at some stories about drinking and sleeping under the sky and stuff :P So all in all the film was a pretty good one, I really enjoyed it and I guess Asia did too.
After the movie we hanged out around the neighborhood but we were quite tired so this night we fell asleep quite early.
