September 9 in Poland ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Heute morgen, nach einem ausgewogenen Frühstück (ich habe mir gottlose viele Gewürzgurken hintergeworfen, man glaubt’s kaum), fuhren wir in die Innenstadt, um uns paar Wahrzeichen und die Altstadt anzusehen. Besonders angetan hat mir es der Kulturpalast - amazing, wonderful, stunning. 🤩
Das Bild mit den zwei hübschen Kerlen (very respectfully) ist im Sächsischen Garten entstanden. Königs August II. der Starke, dessen Herzen wir in Dresden aufbewahren, hat den Garten 1713-1733 angelegt. Von dort aus sind wir in die Altstadt, welche 1949 bis 1955 originalgetreu wiederaufgebaut wurden ist, da alles bis auf die Sigmundsäule im zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört wurden ist.
Tschüss Polen, jetzt geht’s weiter nach Litauen 🇱🇹Read more

August 28 in Poland ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Es war einmal am Weichselufer, da verliebte sich die Meerjungfrau namens Sawa in den armen Fischer Wars.....u.s.w.... Die beiden heiraten und gründen die Fischersiedlung Wars(Mann)- Sawa(Frau) also Warssawa (Warszawa). Heute ist im Wappen der Stadt die Meerjungfrau zu sehen (solltet ihr euch anschauen). Die Polen glauben an diese Geschichte. Im 2.Weltkrieg wurde die Stadt beinahe vollkommen Zerstört und anschließend 1946-53 originalgetreu wieder aufgebaut. Also das Vorurteil über dieses Volk konnte nicht bestätigt werden, alle Reifen und sogar der Spritkanister haben keine Beine bekommen.Read more

Warsaw
June 7 in Poland ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
📌 A visit to the capital of Poland on our way through to the coast. This time we caught a packed flixbus which was a fun 5 hours full of poor internet and weird smells of people's lunches ☺️

📌 We didn't really have any significant plans here, we sort of made it up as we went. We did a walking tour giving us some insight into Warsaw and how much of it was destroyed in WW2 (approx 85%). We explored the rebuilt old town which was nice and they have done an excellent job recreating the buildings.

📌 Warsaw was a modern city and it would be an easy place to live, we got around easy, there were plenty of bars and great restaurants, including a vegan Asian fusion which we enjoyed. We pretty much just relaxed and spent the days doing whatever, including a run and a workout in the park. It is a city worth seeing for history and insight into WW2 and we were happy we went.Read more

Warsaw, a nice place. Not a whole lot going on but the old town was beautiful! Will and I have developed an addiction to polish dumplings names peroogi! We ate them every night rip lol

We stayed at this cute little apartment which was so lux and we had free reign to a washing machine so you best bed we absolutely rinsed it for all it’s worth!

Did a walking tour that sucked so we ditched an hour and a half in and spent some lovely time bonding and watching movies. Wholesome ever all but wouldn’t race to come back!

Next stop 📍 KRAKOWRead more

Met up with the germans and americans from the prior night to watch a women's world cup game just after lunch. Had to bring my backpack with me because i was now homeless. Still wasn't sure if i should stay one more day in gdansk or make my way to warsaw.

Ultimately figured its probably best to get moving again and caught a bullet train to warsaw. I cant believe it got me there in 2 hours. All the other trains were 3.5 to 4 hours from what i saw online.

Checked into my hotel in really pretty castle plaza and walked around taking in the city. Everything here is much bigger in size than gdansk. Was pretty tired so i found a quiet craft beer place to relax. But matt the bartender was incredibly colorful and engaging. Met antoine from france too. We chatted for a few hours but he had an overnight bus to lithuania and had to go

Then met lovely maria and jakim from norway. Chatted a long time and then they wanted to show me some other nearby places. Maria went to university in warsaw, so she knew some great hidden spots that i never would have found. I usually have a pretty strict rule of no shots but they were so hospitable and kind that i felt saying no wasn't really an option. Another late finish but the trip is so close to over, and I'm fortunate to meet so many nice people every day. Trying to enjoy every minute and maximize my opportunitiesRead more

Our plan for this day was to do a free walking tour in old town to get to know it a little bit better, but as we woke up it was raining cats and dogs! After all this time with perfect sunny weather we haven't been prepared at all. We decided to sleep late and relax until the weather got better. In the afternoon the rain ended and we were able to go into the old town. We catched a free walking tour. It led through the old town and was quite interesting. Afterwards we ate polish dinner again and returned to the apartment. Finally we went out to explore the nightlife of Warsaw. We found a club which was partly outside and it seemed to be quite local. After some hours we returned to the flat.Read more
