Fred's trip to Poland
Quote:
Indeed it's a pitty you had to have a car from the car rental, however overtaking is safer when the driver's seat is on the left in the right hand traffic. You've been to quite a number of places and it seems to me, you've travelled across Poland from the south to the north. This September I also spent a week or so close to the Hel peninsula, but stayed near Władysławowo. Your spelling doesn't cause any problems to me, because spelling is one thing and pronunciation- another. I know that "herbata z mlekiem" is not common at all as we drink tea with a slice of lemon, however it's known as "bawarka" and is mainly drunk by breast feeding women (it is to prevent colic - Woodward's Gripe Water was not available in the past). It is probably a German borrowing, as bawarka (pronounced with v) refers to Bavaria (Bayern in German). If you like national parks, there is one by the boarder with Belorussia - Białowieski Park Narodowy - it's the only natural forest in Europe where the allegedly extinct European bisons still live at large. Another park not far away from the Wolinsnki PN is also worth visiting - The Słowiński Park Narodowy for its exceptional sand dunes (the town nearby is Łeba). I've noticed that there is a thread with pictures - I will upload some as photography is my hobby or I could even call it a kind of addiction. Kind regards, Waldek |
