New Trip Is Being Planned

So, yesterday kinda started slowly… Not because we were lazy, but because yesterday there was a house party. And yes, I deliberately said ‘there was’ instead of ‘we had’ because it was our upstairs neighbor who was partying not us. Were weren’t invited, however we sill were part of the party. Loud music and lot of dancing above us. We usually fall asleep listening to the news, this was a completely new background music to fall a sleep to. I’d like to point out how wrong the IRO or Welcome Point or whoever gave us the presentation of Polish rules, they said after 2200 there will be no loud noise, Polish people respect the sleeping hours. Well they don’t. Haha. Or the politically correct way to say it is; Polish people don’t respect the sleeping hours more than any other European nation — except Southern Europeans I guess. Anyway when we finally got up we came up with an idea. See we want to travel to all the major cities in Poland, however till now we have only been to Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Poznan and Sopot. (I think I’ve underestimated the number of cities we’ve been to… Anyway) We wanted to put another city on the list, a city Julia has told me definitely worths a trip, especially in before Christmas; so we could see the Christmas Market. And this place is called Wroclaw! We found a nice, acceptably priced apartment and booked it. However what we didn’t book were train tickets. Yes, since we only had two dose of vaccines, and that’s been over six months we are not as immune to the virus as we used to be. Probably. Hence it didn’t sound like a good idea to sit on a train for three hours in the Covid-cloud with half of the travelers wouldn’t wear a mask properly. (Let me take a note here: if you think wearing a mask is stupid just grow some balls and don’t wear them! I hate to see people who only have their masks on their chin. It’s like they are brave enough to don’t be scared of the virus, however they are afraid of getting a fine. Grow some balls and stand by your opinion — even if it’s a stupid one) Although it would be definitely cheaper, more sustainable, better for the environment. Although it does make lot if sense to go by car, I still think it’s a mistake. The train gets there in four to five hours?! When I’ve started the previous sentence I thought the train ride wouldn’t take more then 3.5 hours! Okay, my opinion has slightly changed, because I was going to say, the GPS says it takes 3 hours 45 minutes to get to Wroclaw from Warsaw, however our polar bear and nonetheless wallet friendly driving style would require at least 4 hours 15 minutes, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was rounded up to almost 5 hours. Wroclaw is pretty far away doesn’t matter how you wanna get there — actually it’s only 55 minutes by plane, but who wants to use the least environment friendly way to travel?! I’m also sceptic if it’s a good idea to drive almost 5 hours to sleep one night then 5 hours back… I think we should either drive more till we get to the Czech Republic, or we should’ve found a different city to visit. But don’t tell Sari I said that, she would be pissed. But you’ll see how it went down, whether it actually worth it or not in the upcoming blogs! Till then take care, Almos

Last Day in Warsaw

Image
  Our last day in Warsaw… When we got up the whole apartment was basically completely empty. Nothing was left, but a few backpacks, the food in the fridge, and the clothes we were about to put on. It was really sad. To start the morning exciting, and cheer ourselves up a bit we started our day in Costa Café or the Nero café — I honestly have no idea — where instead of coffee we drank chai latte. Sari did made me chai latte before, but since we don’t have either a printer nor the balls to print money we used cheep coffee and cheep chai thingy, which meant I was almost drinking something completely different. I absolutely loved the chai latte they gave me, so did Sari. Bummer, I wish I knew about this earlier. After our coffee break we packed everything and headed for the last shopping, we bought the little things that were absolutely needed for our successful trip home: bread, doughnuts, and the missing kinda beers. It was a successful trip. Then we drove home, prepared our meals fo...

Eastern Poland

  Yesterday we broke the record of the number policeman we have met ever in a day. They were everywhere. However before getting in to that we started our day in Bialystok. Where it was -10°C in the morning! I got us some breakfast then till Sari packed our staff I went to get our car. While I was walking to it I checked all the cars on the street how icy were they trying to assume how thick ice cover did my car grow overnight. Luckily the car was only covered with some snowish loose staff that was easy to get rid off with a broom. However in the inside everything was frozen. The motor didn’t even start for the first time, then when it finally started it sounded like when you didn’t put the dishes properly in the washing machine and everything falls out, that was the exact same noise my motor was sounding. It was definitely not pleasant.  The temperature had risen to -8°C by the time we got to our first stop. It was the Church of Trezescinka: a beautiful huge wooden church with...

Sunday Market

  Yesterday we went to the Sunday Market. Or actually we went to a Sunday market – I suppose there are several Sunday markets all over Warsaw. The one we went to is called Gielda Staroci na Kole. Although it wasn’t as big as the Sunday market in Pécs, I still wouldn’t call it small. As we saw they mostly sell porcelains, old coins, tools, and similar useful goods. Visiting this market was quite an experience! The market itself takes place at a closed garden, but the garden seems to be not big enough for all the sellers, some of them sell their staff on the street right next to the market! First, we didn’t even know what’s up with that place. We didn’t see the conception. It took some time and some walking for us to comprehend what’s going on. I might’ve told you earlier, my plan was to buy a bike, so I could ride it to the uni, so one of the reasons we went to the market to see if they have bikes, if they have how much they cost, and what they look like. Well unfortunately they ...
