After a non conventional Xmas, working at “someone else” house, a different New Year, special and “New”, few weeks working for not very nice people and some other totally the opposite, the moment for a mini and more than deserving holydays had arrived. How I had already told you in other occasions, my friend Ola, had invited to me Poland, I can say is a wonderful country, people is really kind and despite the cold it’s well worth the visit.
I left London on the 28 th of January at 0610 am, so I had to spend the night in a B&B at Stansted. The owners are Australian and very nice couple, I totally recommend it for hose of you having to make a stop over at this airport and they count with a shuttle service at mostly any time, I had to leave at 0430 am and the man had gone to bed around 0100 am cause he had a pick up. I had dinner at the only pub in the little village accompanied of a glass of white wine and the tranquillity of being on holydays. After a nice chat to the pub owner I had a wonderful dinner but I had to leave soon for an early night… In the morning and just with one cup of coffee I had a very disturbing experience at the security control, but I won’t go down that way because it’s not worth it!!! Anyway, 2 hours flight destination Gdansk where minus 11 degrees where expecting me, although it didn’t feel that cold at all. Ola came to fetch me; we went to the centre of town for breakfast and to make some time until we could go to our mini flat at Mariacka street, one of the nicest streets of Gdansk old town. This street is full of Amber shops, so there’s no better place to go shopping and for a walk.
One of the towns close to Gdansk is Sopot, a part from being Ola’s home town, it’s also considered one of the best holyday, party and tourism towns in Poland… nothing to do with Ibiza, not full of constructions and a historical harbour (on the photo). We spend the weekend near a lake at the Kaszuby area, with Ola’s friends, they all share the same hobby, they prepare 4x4 and then they go all together on excursions or trips, but this time they where celebrating to B’Days and they rented a house for the occasion, there was 30 of us, so you can imagine the party. We also had the opportunity to see a video of their last trip to Mongolia, amazing!
I spend 8 days in Poland, but I had such a great experience that it seemed like a month to me. The return to work was hard but now feels like an eternity since I got back!!! Anyway, must earn a bit of money for my next trips, although I’ve already bought my flight tickets for Island that one is still a little far a way, September! Next, Joaquin, my mother and my brother are visiting so I’ll have few free days to spend time with them.
