O Canada!

August 1, 2009

Its 4 am, we're sitting in the airport. Our flight departs from Warsaw to Frankfurt at 6.30 am then we should be arriving in Montreal at 11.40 ( canada time).

Its sad that we must leave this country, i know i've said it before but i really do feel that way. We met amazing people and not to mention had some great food. I hope to return some day to this country, maybe with some other friends so i can show them how much i know.

Well... can't talk anymore, they're making us board the plane.
I'll miss you Polska!

Back to the capital

July 31,2009

We're on our train going back to Warsaw, and thankfully we're staying at the Intercontinental hotel once again ( we really liked it).

Today we're all going our seperate way. Angelina wants to do some last minute shopping. Cristina wants to visit more museums. And i just wanna eat all the food i can eat. haha! i really enjoyed the cuisine here and im going to try to sneak some on the plane with me ( even though i know i really shouldnt).. i wonder if it will even make it on the plane!

We're very glad we decided to come to this country, it really is one of a kind!
Tonight we plan on pulling an all nighter, we got plenty of time to sleep on the plane tomorrow.

Alright so we're all energized since yesterday we slept from 7pm and woke up today at 9am.. so much for our slumber party!
Today our day is spilt in two, beginning of the day is sightseeing and the other half is leisure.
To start off we are going to walk along Ogrodowa street .. this street led us to the Old Cemetary .This is a jewish cemetary, it is one of the largest in Europe, it was destroyed in World War II by the germans. Not all of the tombstones were ruined because t'ill this day, like we're doing today, we can walk through the cemetary... It really does give me the chills.

Its the second part of the day, and we're going to have some fun!
Most people probably didnt know this, and neither did we, but Lodz is actually the the artistic epicenter of Poland. We're going to be visiting the Cinematography museum, which shows us the history in Polish cinema along with diffrent exhibitions.

My friends and i are amazed how much we have learned about this countries culture and history over the time spent here.

Lodz

July 29,2009

We really had a great stay in Sopot. The people are amazing, the beach is gorgeous and the nightlife was one of a kind!
Now we're back on the road to Warsaw where we will then take another train to Lodz. Luckily we took the express train to Warsaw which only took 3 hours.
The hotel name is Qubus, its a cute little hotel not to far from all the action.
Our first stop is Palace Poznanski, this is an amazing palace. It is decorated with copulas,pinnacles, and sheilds with the letter P on them. It is also attatched to an amazing garden with many diffrent sculptures. Truly remarkable!Our next two sites are the Karol Scheilber's factory and Kseizy Mlyn Palace.

Today me and my friends are feeling a little tired from all the traveling we've been doing. I think we're going to have a slumber party just like we would back home. We dont feel so bad we still got a few more days to enjoy this eastern european country.

Fun in the sun.

July 26 - 27 - 28, 2009

For the next three days the girls and i will take the time to soak up the sun and really take it all of Poland.

While we're here we plan on visiting St Mary's chuch ( the biggest church built with brick blocks) and the Neptune Fountain.And we'll be travelling with the famous tram!

We'll be going to Sopot for the best beach resort area. It is said that this area is known to be called "the polish riviera", who knew!

I'll catch up with you in a few days,

t'ill then..do widzenia! (goodbye)

Vamos a la playa! Oh wait, that's spanish!

Finaly,the beach!!

Today is a very special day, we left Wroclaw, hopped on the train and got going to Gdansk.
We've arrive about 1 hour ago and we're getting ready to go out. It was a 7 hour train ride.. yeah pretty long and tireing but very worth it once again.Ou hotel is directly on the Baltic sea, its called Novotel Gdansk Marina.

We're going to the Santorini restaurant for some greek dining in the center of Gdansk, and for the rest of the evening we're just going to explore and see what we can find.

Czy Pan Movi Po Polsku.... Polish 101

July 24,2009

Its day 10 of our trip so we've half way there. My friends and i are enjoying ourselves so much, the culture, the people and the cities are just so diffrent from what we're used to, i love it!
We just finished having breakfast... and we're going to go visit the main square. I find square's in Europe are just the best, everyone meets here and even if your just sitting around on the steps you still can have a good time.

The main square today was filled with young people, maybe because it was a really sunny warm day. We stoped for a beer and continued on our way to see the Town Hall and the Alexander Fredro statue. Actually a 2 young polish men noticed us stairing at the statue trying to figure out who it was, we then got to talking and i guess we sort of became friends for the day. They also taught me a polish line " czy pan movi po polsku?" which means " do you speak english?"... it was what they used to pick us up haha!



Later on that day we went to visit the former Petersdorff department store. We then went to Ostrow Tumski which wasnt very fart from the department store. And there is where we had our first fine dining, at the Cathedral Restaurant.
