Today
Some pictures I took 3 months ago and that I forgot to post here. This is the place where they make Oscypek, you know this great polish sheep cheese? Enjoy.
Łódź – Surely the Ugliest Town in Poland
Łódź. We stopped there on our way back from Zakopane, just to cut our trip in half. That wasn’t a very clever idea. We spent 2 days in Łódź doing nothing as there is nothing to do there! It’s ugly, abandoned, polluted, grey and dirty. Depressing town. And they say that they have the longest [...]
Review: Karczma po Zbóju
A quick note about the restaurant we visited twice during our stay in Zakopane. They serve typical food from this area, which means lots of cheese, grilled pork meat, and pierogis of course. We were so stuffed both day. Portions were not that huge (beside the 1kg pork knuckle), but we are not used to [...]
Kasprowy Wierch
I think I didn’t go hiking in the mountains for ages. I don’t even remember when was last time. May be it was Carrauntoohil in Ireland about 10 years ago. Which I wouldn’t really call a mountain. But still it was a dangerous hiking as every year people are dying there because of the combination [...]
Ojców National Park
In a previous post, I told you about that National Park. It’s about 16 km & 30 minutes north of Krakow. And I find that so great to have such a park so close. Great for mountain bike I presume. Tho, it’s not such a big one, only 21.46 km2. It may not be big, [...]
Krakow Off
At the beginning, I wanted to post an article about Krakow the traditional way, with plenty of pictures of the monuments, to tell you a little story of Krakow, to talk about its history, its position in Poland and so on. But I changed my mind. There must be so many blog articles that way… [...]
Auschwitz-Birkenau
Please fell free to clic on the picture… I presume we all know what happened during WWII, we know what the nazi did to millions of people. We saw that on TV, we read that on books, we listened to it hundreds of time in our life. We know. But going there and actually seeing [...]
Ljubljana + Review: Hot’ Horse | Marley and Me
Ljubljana is one of the nicest capital I ever visited. I mean Paris is beautiful, Berlin is great, Dublin is perfect for a night out, Cardiff is cool, didn’t like London… Okay, may be Brussels would be close (sadly it’s grey all the time there). But … It’s just a beautiful, sexy, very attractive and [...]
Review: Belica Tourism
I warn you, it’s going to be a very long article as there is lot of pictures, about 25 of them. Scroll, scroll down, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re going to Slovenia, more specifically to Brda, it should interest you. As I wrote on many posts about Slovenia in the past few weeks, this [...]
Ajvar
A little break in my series of articles about our holidays in Slovenia. Well, it will still be related in a way or another to Slovenia as I will give you the recipe of Ajvar, a relish mainly made from red bell peppers, eggplant, garlic and chili pepper. Originally, it’s a Serbian speciality. I’m not [...]
Slovenia, The Region of Brda
The region of Brda, north-west of Bukovica, about 20 minutes drive. One of the most amazing place we had the opportunity to visit. Just magnificent. Small cute villages, vineyards and lots of fruit trees. I was so happy, it was like being at home, I mean my real home, Perpignan and around, not Gdańsk (we [...]
Slovenia, The Riviera
So after we arrived in Bukovica we had plenty of time left for our holidays. And as it was going to be very sunny every day (we were checking and double checking the weather forecast all the time), there was no real plan on the table. Just looking at the map, how far it was, [...]
Slovenia, The Emerald Trail & Around
I’m from the south of France, more precisely from Perpignan, close to Spain and the Pyrenees. Never went to the Alps. For me it was just the same kind of mountains, high, and that’s it. Nothing better than our ones. Why go there? I was wrong. The Alps are much more impressive than the Pyrenees. [...]
I Feel Slovenia
So we came back from Slovenia yesterday. It’s for this reason that the blog was a sleepy for the last 10 days. Slovenia remind me so much about my home region. Mountains, seaside, countryside & vineyards. Sometimes I thought it was even better. It’s such a small country, and everything was just great. Lovely landscapes, [...]
