Cities of Poland

Posted on March 24, 2015 | 13 Comments

Warsaw was good but it doesn’t have the historical swagger or confidence of Krakow or the quirky charm of the more manageable Wroclaw because Warsaw is a modern European capital with the raw edge and the buzz of a major city.

Whilst I might consider returning to Krakow and Wroclaw, once in Warsaw I think is probably enough.

I haven’t visited Warsaw yet, except the airport, but both Wroclaw and Krakow were great…for night time, I prefer the beautiful lights and ambiance of Krakow.

Maybe I’ll visit Poland someday since it is part of my heritage. The cities DO sound interesting. Thank you, Andrew.

    I wouldn’t need a translator, unless the people I talked with talked too fast. I’m losing the mother tongue. Haven’t been using it enough. 😦

Someday, I’ll get to Poland (it is part of a long list of places I want to visit).

Unrelated, I see you are reading One Summer – how are you enjoying it? I downloaded it to read over vacation, but never got to it. Bill Bryson has become rather hit or miss for me on his last few books, which is probably why I read other books first.

  It is an obvious thing to say I suppose but it is pitched more towards an american readership. I don’t understand anything about baseball. It is taking me some time to finish it! I liked his book about the house and he did a brilliant little biography of Shakespeare.

    At Home was one of my faves of his – but my favorite is definitely A Walk in the Woods. I think I read the Shakespeare one, but I’ll have to double check.
    
    I am guessing that as an American and a baseball fan at that, I will like One Summer. And now that I realize baseball features prominently, I may have to start it (the season starts in a few days).

    There is a lot about Babe Ruth. My favourite is ‘Here, There and Everywhere’ about travels in Europe. I met him once at a environmental conference – a really nice man!

    I am glad to hear he is a nice guy – he seems like it from his books!
