The distances between Poland’s special places might be a little further than elsewhere in Europe, but they’re utter gems on arrival. Such is the case with Torun, a mediaeval charmer set in the province of […]
2019 Day 74 – Gdansk Town Hall
Quite pleased with our explorations of Gdansk yesterday. Cross referencing our guide book (heaven forbid one should miss a salient sight) confirms we’ve traveled far and wide. All the better to earn a little rest […]
2019 Day 73 – Gdansk
With over a 1,000 years of history to its name, Gdansk was always going to be a special stop. Deemed as one of the fairest cities in Europe, there’s much excitement afoot as we trot […]
2019 Day 72 – It’s a long way to Gdansk
It didn’t look that far on the map (it never does) but it’s an awfully long way to Gdansk. Set on Poland’s northern shore, it takes us virtually the whole day to drive there. It’s […]
2019 Day 71 – Warsaw’s Royal Castle
Having legged it all over Warsaw’s key sights yesterday, it’s with some relief we plan a slower pace today. First stop is the Warsaw Uprising monument, spotted on our way home last night. It, like […]
2019 Day 70 – Warsaw
It was always going to be a busy day, our first outing into Warsaw. Consequently we’re up and at it, bright and early. Relatively speaking. Warsaw is divided into three distinct areas, the Old and […]
2019 Day 69 – Pulawy
Ostensibly, we’re Warsaw bound, but not before a brief stop in Pulawy, to see the Czartoryski Palace. Home to Princess Izabella in the late 1700s, the Palace was a central point for culture, drawing in […]
2019 Day 68 – Kazimierz Dolny
Right. A quieter pace today perhaps? Yesterday’s marathon effort knocked us both out a little. But not too quiet!First, the Gothic castle and tower on the hill. Nothing like a kilometre of stairs to get […]
2019 Day 67 – Kozlowka and Kazimierz Dolny
We’re continuing our tour of southeastern Poland visiting Kozlowka, home to a magnificent 18th century castle, once residence to the (then) king’s illegitimate daughter and her husband. It’s considered one of the finest examples of […]
2019 Day 66 – Allegedly a day of rest
You know “rest”, right? Feet up, binge series/book at the ready, feet up, cocktails on tap? That’s what I thought too. Today’s not even close. In fairness, Poland has challenged us in one unforseen way […]
