Greetings!
It’s been 7 years since we visited any of the Baltic countries. We’ve long been curious about travel in Poland and decided that it’s time to check it out! We’ll spend nearly 3 weeks zigzagging northerly beginning with the Krakow in the south and ending with Gdansk in the north. Our plan is to travel by train and bus rather than renting a car. We’ll use each destination as a base for day trips.
On Tuesday, our flight will take us non-stop from Atlanta to Dusseldorf, Germany where we’ll have a short layover before we catch a flight (one hour and 45 minutes in length) from Dusseldorf to Krakow.
Our itinerary looks like this:
Krakow-5 nights
Wroclaw-4 nights
Warsaw-4 nights
Torun-2 nights
Gdansk-5 nights
We’ve reserved hotels in each city.
We’ll be in Krakow for Easter and Passover and hope to experience some of the traditions surrounding these holidays. Krakow is majority Catholic (87.2 percent according to Wikipedia) but there is a lively Jewish quarter called Kazimierz.
We’re especially looking forward to the Easter Market in Krakow where we’ve read that wooden stalls in the Market Square sell decorated Easter eggs, baskets, tablecloths, gingerbread hearts, cheeses, sausages, hot spiced wine and much more!
We plan to post every few days as Internet allows. Follow along if you’d like!
Twoje zdrowie!
(That’s “Cheers” in Polish!)
