Day: 50 I don’t know what it is, I can’t get enough of this little city in the east of Poland. I keep thinking about leaving but ever time I convince myself of another day of sitting in café’s and watching movies, or just strolling around the main square. This beautiful little city has got [...]
Day: 49 Here a list of what I spent today and how weird prices seem. 50 zl (15.50) For a night in a hotel with my own room. 7 zl ($2.17) for 2 bottles of water, a banana, and an apple. 14 zl ($4.34) Round trip bus ride from Krakow to Auschwitz. 23 zl ($7.13) [...]
Day: 48 Not really, I wanted to see the castle, get some good pictures, have a few killer meals, sit in a café and drink cappuccinos, eat ice cream and see a movie. I am not really in the mood to write out the specifics of the day, yet I managed to accomplish everything on [...]
Day: 47 Easter in Poland means everything outside the tourist main square is closed, so unfortunately no touring castle and traipsing around the countryside today. It was going to be a much more relaxed sort of Easter. I started my day by catching up with my blog in my room thanks to the free internet [...]
Day: 46 Thump. Thump. Thump. What the hell is that noise I wondered without every opening my eyes. Thump. Thump. Thump. Damn someone is rude to make all this noise early in the morning. Thump. Thump. Thump. I open my eyes and realize the thumping is in my head. It is only 7:45am and I [...]
Day: 45 While I had planned today to try and rent a bike and cruise around the base of the mountain range here, when I looked out the window this morning I saw that it was pouring rain and all my outdoor activities would have to wait. I had to leave the room I’d been [...]
Day: 44 Hiking the entire surrounding area was the plan for the day. After a huge breakfast made for me by the woman who runs the place I’m staying I headed across town to get a lift on one of the local cable trains to the top of one of the smaller peaks (Hrebienok) in [...]
Day: 43 I was up early enough to catch the early train (9:34am) to Stary Smokovec, The supposed outdoor hot spot of Slovakia. I could have waited until the 10:20am train but since they both arrived about 5 minutes apart and the first one is half the price I packed my bag and made my [...]
Day: 42 So all I really want today is to see the castle, wander the old town and eat another great Slovak meal. I grabbed my camera and a couple of lenses and headed out the door not even bothering to look out the window. I make it about 10 steps out the front door [...]
Day: 41 6am: I wake up to the church bells and have to piss. 6:05am: I get up walk out the door to my room to the bathroom in the hall wearing only my boxers and the door to my room locks behind me. Damn. 6:06am: I pee 6:07am: I gently knock on the door [...]
