I have a weakness for promenades. They allow you to spend time slowly and walking them down is an obligatory item of all the trips to all kinds of resorts where such promenade becomes an informal catwalk where people present their season outfits. But not only like that, Płock is not a resort after...
Słupsk. My first illustrated map.
And maybe I should start drawing maps of Poland? – I asked myself after next series of “achs” and “ochs” following watching the They Draw and Travel website which I visit almost every day. And there it is. My first illustrated map. At the aforementioned website the draftsmen from the whole world place their...
Autumn in Poland. 6 inspirations, some memories and lot of photos
As Czesław Niemen used to sing: autumn starts with mimosas. Nothing stands on a way to start it with trips. Autumn in Poland can be, apart from being golden – warm, colourful and full of charm. It’s worth using it before the winter starts and we shall get stuck under a blanket with running...
There shall never be such a summer like this
This summer was supposed to be different, I don’t even know in which way, but different. Whereas instead of intensity of experiences we faced the slackening of pace. Vocation at aunt’s, grandma, friend’s house. Without swimming pools, animators, attractions. Actually I may say two things for sure. Firstly – our children shall get sentimental while...
25 Polish cities and their nicknames. Welcome to Romes, Vienices and Parises!
On some foreign blog I’ve lately read that Warsaw is supposed to have its own nickname. It sounds – attention please – big village in the middle of nowhere. I don’t know how the author found such sophisticated description, because as far as I know Polish cities are usually described as Parises, Venices. Of...
10 manners for a successful afternoon in Zamość
Zamość orders us to be called either ideal city or open fortress. Except from situations when it calls itself Padua of the North. Or Pearl of Renaissance. There is a grain of truth in each of these descriptions. It’s worth to go there personally and give it your own nickname. For example Elżbieta Dzikowska...
SPORTS AT POLISH SEASIDE
Is there really only windbreaking and cheap self – promoting? Really? I may risk a statement that I spent big part of my life at Polish seaside. At the beginning – as an infant with my parents, later with friends and numerous fiancés and finally – with my husband and children. In winter, autumn,...
What to do in Ustka when one may not sunbathe?
Ustka is one of these coast towns which are willingly visited all year round. In holidays there prevail families with children, in winter and spring – numerous clients (it is a health resort location after all). And due to the weather, which happens to be capricious and windy at Polish seaside and not like...
Short guide to shop-windows of Cracow’s Kazimierz
I like watching sings. And shop windows. Admire their composition (or lack thereof, it may also be charming), check whether they can encourage me to step closer and come inside. Some pretend to be old, some – to be nice. There are also a few which don’t have to pretend anything. They know that...
One Upon a Monday on the Market Square in Cracow
The last long weekend treated all the persons loving indecently high temperatures exceptionally kindly what caused numerous trips to all kinds of beaches and pools. I, reliable mother of two children, also went to the waters, thermae precisely, not far from Warsaw, where I was joyfully splashing about in the water for the very...
