Poland - This Time For Sure
So I decided to go to Poland and go to the beach. Why because it is ridicuolus. This decided I checked the weather - good - booked a ticket on the bus and was away. On arrival at the bus station there was a massive group of attractive girls waiting to get on a bus. I checked the bay that the bus would be leaving from and was told 4 or 10. Now 10 had this group of girls attached to it but as luck would have it my bus was leaving from 4. boo. A mini bus pulled up and I groaned not 14 hours in a crappy little bus, luckily no this wasnt the case. Then my bus turned up, now bus isn't exactly an accurate description for the vehicle perhaps "van" is a better description. I was laughed at by Amy and Mortiz for my misfortune but an attractive Polish girl in the window seat lifted my hopes. Only to be dashed as I entered the bus her boyfriend became very apparent. For those of you that havent been to Poland the girls are absolutely stunning - the men are fat, bald and old. I think that if you are not fat bald or old and you want to have an attractive girlfriend you have to apply for some sort of license that involves a series of ardous challenges and perhaps some compulsory military service.
13 hours later I arrived in Gdansk, an hour early how wonderful, until you realise that it is 6am Sunday morning in a small seaside city. So lugging all my bags I set off to the hostel. Arriving at the hostel there is a sign in the window saying "we will not be open until 8:30am". So with 2 hours to kill I sit on a bench and enjoy the dull, overcast day that is Sunday. I was lied to by the Polish weather people on reflection I decided that perhaps this was my own fault. 1 hour later it dawned on me that there was little point staying at a beach town for one day if the weather was not sunny. So I caught a train to Warsaw.
On the train i met a drunk Polish guy (Andrejs) who was very amusing and we went for beers in Warsaw on arrival. On the way to being drunk and tired from 30 hours on the road I headed for a hostel. I tried to go out for drinks that evening but failed miserably. Warsaw on a Sunday is not a great place to be.
To Krakow!
Monday arrived and I was over Warsaw and off to Krakow. On the train I met two Portugeuse guys (Jonny and Fernando) Cala boca. We hit it off and decided to hang out while in Krakow. Krakow is awesome, beautiful old town and heaps of bars and a very lively nightlife. We managed to find a good but empty club on Monday night where a girl was DJing. She played acid house and was an excellent DJ and was stunning. Fernando was so taken with her playing that he told her that and she gave him a CD.
The next day we went to Aushwitz. This place is very heavy. very heavy. You feel very hollow the whole time that you are there. You are completely unable to comprehend the numbers involved and when you are confronted with the evidence it is even more difficult. It is made harder that they dont serve booze along the way because I needed a drink after the first 20 minutes. After Aushwitz 1 I needed many drinks, after Birkenau I needed even more. Not a fun place to go but very necessary.
Jonny and Fernando were going to Prague and I was reviewing my options as I had to get to Finland somehow as I had already brought a flight from Helsinki to Budapest. I found a relatively cheap flight from Berlin to Riga and decided to go to Prague.
Heaps of other fun and amusing stuff happened I am sure of it but it escapes me for the time being.
Oh yeah the girl that worked at the reception desk at the boys hostel is the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen. Polish girls WOW!
