postcard from cracow

I get back home from my summer getaways but for some reason I feel kind of anxious. Travelling as much as I did this year means that it's hard for me to stay still. I can't help it but to daydream about my future trips and this time it's no different. I spend two weeks or so on doing nothing, just winding down and trying to figure things out for myself. Next year I'm graduating and it's so exciting and scary at the same time. And thinking about it consumes most of my thoughts so it's obviously time for me togo somewhere. So when my aunt from Luxembourg invites me to her new place in Cracow I cannot say no. I pack lightly and soon I'm on a train to the most beautiful city in Poland. The weather's nice and so is the apartment I'm staying at. We go out to the restaurants quite a lot and I finally have a breakfast at Charlotte and it's good but I can't stop but think that nothing beats a bowl of porridge in the morning anyway. We wander around, go to some stores but I end up buying nothing. Then we go to an Italian restaurant and I order the best tomato soup I've ever had. (It was so good that I promptly make it at home when I get back.) Few more days of chilling and basking in the sun and I take the train back home. And when I'm actually back I see a picture that two of my favourite British actors are in Cracow and I did not meet them. You can imagine my face when I found out.

why did I fall in love.. with cracow

Since the fall has come and utter boredom and never-ending coldness with it I decided to write something about my trip to Cracow.
(yep, I'm living through memories now when nothing exciting is happening)

I went there in May and it was a very spontaneous trip per usual. Me and my good friend (and best travel-buddy) Peter decided to spend there three days mostly sight-seeing, but of course - a gig had to be involved. There was a students' event being organised at the time and we thought that it was a cool idea to attend it.

Nadeszła jesień a wraz z nią okres kompletnej nudy i niekończącego się zimna. Dlatego też postanowiłam napisać o mojej wyprawie do Krakowa (tak, żyję wspomnieniami, kiedy nic ciekawego się u mnie nie dzieje)

Kraków odwiedziłam w maju, była to kolejna spontaniczna wycieczka. Wraz z moim dobrym kolegą (i najlepszym kompanem podróży) postanowiliśmy spędzić tam trzy dni, głównie zwiedzając, ale oczywiście nie obyło się bez koncertu. Akurat w czasie naszego pobytu w Krakowie organizowane były Czyżenalia, w których postanowiliśmy wziąć udział.

 It was my first time in Cracow and I have to admit - it's the most georgous city in Poland. (Wroclaw is right behind) To był mój pierwszy raz w Krakowie i muszę przyznać, że to najpiękniejsze miasto w Polsce.

 After our arrival we got to downtown.

Zaraz po przyjeździe udaliśmy się na starówkę.

The weather wasn't cooperating with us - it was raining all the time.

 Pogoda z nami nie współpracowała - cały czas padało.

We've visited Kazimierz as well. It's an old jewish district and it feels like a way different city. (well for me it does)

 Odwiedziliśmy również Kazimierz, który zdawał mi się niemal innym miastem.

I've taken my tripod with me so we decided to give it a go one evening.

Zabrałam ze sobą statyw, więc pewnego wieczoru postanowiliśmy go wypróbować.

Cracow by night is even more beutiful than in a daytime. And the fact that it's so multicultural makes it even a better place for me. I love that melting-pot type cities.

Kraków nocą jest jeszcze piękniejszy niż za dnia.

Next time I'll write about that whole Czyżenalia experience. Stay tuned. 

Następnym razem napiszę o Czyżenaliach.
