After reaching Wroc322aw we realized that this chill was not leaving Eastern Europe anytime soon.Minutes after arriving in Wroc322aw from Dresden Germany by train 4 hours we started searching for a way to get to the Olympic Stadium to pickup my packet for the marathon. We took a cab and during the 20 minute r http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-324725.html After our few days in beautiful cesky krumlov we had a full day of travelling to reach our next destination Wroclaw in South West Poland. We were met from the train by my old friend and colleague Piotr who has recently moved home back to Wroclaw. A further reunion with Alex his wife and also Kat who managed to fly over for the weekend of festivities.Wroclaw is a beautiful town which was previously http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-317520.html After Gdansk we started back south toward Slovakia. Our first stop was the city of Kolobrzeg which is one of the most popular health resorts on the Baltic coast. It is also a favorite place for Germans to vacation because of its proximity to Germany. The city is known for its famous lighthouse and also for some of its World War II history. Traditionally Kolobrzeg has been the sight of Polan http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-292705.html Always crazy times in Wroc322aw.The flight over from Barcelona was a blur as the three of us Jenn my brother and I were working on roundabout 7 fancy shots and no sleep. Flew into Poznan took a bus to the city centre and a train 3 hours to Wroclaw. I used the 60 z322ote that I had been stealthily hiding from my last Poland trip in November. When we made it to Wroc322aw it was a http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-289389.html When the sun shines Poland is a totally different country. We spent Saturday in Wroclaw a two hour train ride from Poznan. It's bigger and more touristoriented than Poznan. I never get used to seeing these incredible old town market squares. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to remember that I really live in Europe. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-270475.html Hi everyone well its been a while since i posted on here so i though i would just in case some of you were concerned i was banged up in a chinese prison for saying the olympics are crap and only suckers host em...well a lot has happened since the last post but ill be brief cos my laptop battery is about to die on me.

Na een goede 5 uur boeken lezen iPod luisteren buiten kijken slapen en babbelen rapen we ons bijeen en stappen van de trein.We gaan inchecken in de hostel en het valt mij op dat de hele straat in een Art Nouveau stijl is met als kers op de taart onze hostel waar de meeste me http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-228116.html ...

I have been busy trying to learn Polish and eating tons of amazing Polish food.I arrived in Europe on Saturday July14th and flew into Wroclaw where Ola Martin and Ola's aunt met me.

Anyways travelling resumeThe busline i took w http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-164970.html CELTA 2007 International House WroclawI did the CELTA course so I have the opportunity to travel and teach around the globe. Also so I did something constructive with my summer. I always loathed doing speeches at schooluni and am generally not comfortable speaking in front of many people. So this was a bit a challenge to me and normally with strangers Irsquom pretty introverted personality http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-154408.html Sometimes you can spend ages psyching yourself up to do something. Then just as you're about to bite the bullet Fate shows up says Scratch that i've got a better idea and you find yourself on a completely different path.I had big plans a grand Slavic loop that would take me through southern Poland Slovakia Romania Hungary and back to Prague in time for New Year I'd decided to ignore th http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-108390.html I struggle out of bed after an uneasy two hours of sleep with anticipation on the brain. I never sleep well before a trip. Determined to beat the traffic our group of eight piled into a nineseater Ford Transit and headed out of the Park Ride lot at 0400. Just a bit earlier than ohdarkthirty. Luckily gas station breaks provided me with a Nescafe Choco coffee and a sugarfree Red Bull. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Boleslawiec/blog-95811.html Vising the city with cwy exparticipants http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-89782.html So itrsquos been some time since I have posted anything. And that is because Irsquove been in the middle of the woods in Poland for 7 days. Brzezinka was built in the mid 70rsquos I believe for the Theatre Laboratoryrsquos use in itrsquos work. It is one building and a broken water mill that houses enough space and more for the 35 people who are here now two large work spaces a ki http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-80294.html 07.26.06I am currently sitting in the Grotowski Centre. Amazing. Irsquom in Poland I made it finally. Let me explain I left Park in Italy on Monday. I took a train to Forli airport. I got on my crowded flight to Frankfurt during which time my phone alarm clock went off even thought the phone was off and rude old Italian men laughed at me and the flight attendants were very mean.I arrived http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-80279.html The day after the wedding May 12th we met AlliGator for a late lunch and then they had a gift opening. After that they were off to Italy for their honeymoon.Sunday May 13th my parents Joel and I drove my dad's cousin's car to Poland they left it for us after the wedding. We went directly to the village where my dad's cousin Wiesiu and his family Bozena http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-73551.html Ok so I'm not really in Wroclaw anymore but since I had two failed attempts at updating yesterday we're gonna pretend i am..so our last night in Warsaw we ended going to Galeria club along with Kasia's cousins. Kasia was quite the dancing queen if I do say so myself. Jarek and I left to check out Utopia one of Warsaw's best clubs while Kasia stayed and got her groove on. Once back 430am w http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Poland/Lower-Silesian/Wroclaw/blog-71409.html I am sitting at my desk falling in and out of consciousness as paper airplanes and spitballs whiz past my head. I stare absentmindedly at the back wall where MR DUEK IS GAY is crudely written in bright blue letters with permanent marker. I squint to see the letters more closely and notice that someone has scribbled I NOW with a black pen beside the original statement.
