I said this back at my very first post about Poland but I was inspired to go off for a quick trip by Laurie Alyce Adventures who is a teacher and crams her many adventures into weekends during term time, which made me begin to wonder if I could be doing more with my weekends … More Weekend Itinerary: 48 hours in Kraków
This is one that could do with a keyboard and a desk rather than a phone on a train but let’s start it anyway. I’ve written most of my Kraków stuff but I definitely need an entire post for the 24 extra hours I spent in Poland – at one point believing I was trapped … More 24 unscheduled hours in Poland
Now, this is a hidden gem in Kraków, if you’ll excuse the cliche. The Owls’ Cave is Kraków’s newest attraction, having been there less than seven weeks and not only is it a great way to escape the rain, it’s also a fantastic thing in its own right. The owner, Michael, is an experienced falconer … More Unusual things to do in Kraków: The Owls’ Cave
I went to Kraków on a bit of whim because there were cheap flights from a nearby airport rather than any pre-existing desire to go to Kraków but it didn’t take a lot of research to discover that it’s just up the road from an enormous salt mine which you can visit. I’m absolutely a … More Exploring Wieliczka Salt Mine
Last weekend, I went to Poland. I was inspired by Laurie Alyce Adventures, who is my current favourite person on Instagram. She’s a history teacher – actually, head of department – in a school in Devon who spends her weekends adventuring, which means getting up at 4am on Saturday morning to fly to Edinburgh or … More The Boat Hostel&Chill, Kraków
I’ve discovered that I’ve missed quite a few sets of film photos but I like them and I think they show a slightly different perspective on places and on travel, especially with the fact that you don’t get to find out whether they even worked until a good few weeks later. They’ll never replace the … More The Eras Train Tour on film
And at last it’s going home day! The reality of this trip was almost as long as the blog posts about it – by the time I woke up in Warsaw on that last morning, to the first rain I’d seen since my first day in Berlin, it all felt so long ago I could … More Eras Train Tour: Monday in Warsaw – the end of an Era(s)
It is now October and this journey started in July and I’m still writing about it! Twice a week blogs mean eleven-day trips take a while, I guess. But it’s my last full day! It’s the day after I finally went to the Eras tour and I started it late and lazy with a quest … More Eras Train Tour: Sunday in Warsaw
By Saturday, after eight days on the go, I was kind of tired. My hotel was too hot, I’d glimpsed four cities over the last week and today I was finally going to see Taylor Swift, after possessing an Eras tour ticket for nearly thirteen months. I could have quite happily stayed home. But I … More Eras Train Tour: Saturday in Warsaw (and ERAS!)
I woke up on my last morning of train travel across Poland with a sort of sense of regret – not that I regretted finally reaching Warsaw on my eighth day of this adventure, but that I didn’t have longer in the really nice hotel room in Łódź! After the tiny apartment with unreliable water … More Eras Train Tour: Lodz to Warsaw
