Ah, this weekend was Poland, one of my top places to visit. Poland was great, even though it seemed like it ended with everything that could possibly go wrong, going wrong. But, let me start by telling you the good part of the trip. The trip started out fairly smoothly. We got up super early on Friday morning (nothing out of the ordinary here), caught our train to Milan, made it to the airport, and got on our plane. It was hard to find a cheap flight to Poland and after asking a friend how they flew to Poland when they were here, we decided to try out an airline called “Wizzair”. It was a hot pink airplane, and is Hungarian based. We kept joking that it was going to be a scam, but sure enough, ... read more

Poland will be our final destination for our motorbike tour this summer. But today was another step in the planning stages. Purchased Adventure Motorcycling Handbook by Chris Scott Worldwide Motorcycling Route & Planning Guide or so the blurb on the front cover says. Hopefully we will find some helpful hints in there.... read more

BRATISLAVA - KATOWICE 01.10.08 Km traveled 3040 Jogging early morning, under the rain, with a backpack the size of yourself on your shoulders to catch the 5.54 train, is a MUST for every traveler.

When you choose to take a train so early in the morning, when it's still dark, it means that things are going to be difficult. Otherwise you would have taken the 2.00 pm train! So obviously what should have been just an early morning journey from Bratislava to Katowice, with ONE change at Zilina, turned out to be an adventure. First part of the journey was actually fine if it wasn't for the early time. We arrive at Zilina almost on time after crossing the beautiful ... read more

Boarding the plane, i was asking myself: am I really flying to Poland right now? Right now I am in the Southernmost part of Africa, and in several hours I will be touching down in Krakow, Poland. It felt unbelieveable, and somehow also just the 'next step' on this journey that is in one sense so planned out and in another so unpredictable and spontaneous. And like so many other moments over the past several months, I found myself saying over and over in my head 'I can't believe I am doing this, I can't believe I'm doing this.....' I have now been in Poland for five days. We are at the Silesia Dance Festival in a small town called Bytom, here to perform our work 'Quartet for the End of Time,' the work that we ... read more
