Park Poznan

With my cold, I am moving slowly but given the size of the Poznan, it is plenty fast enough. My first stop is to the Cathedral at Ostrow Tumski. The cathedral has been rebuilt but the highlight the tombs of the founders of Poland around 1000 AD. Next, the Art Museum which I like more than Wroclaw's. It is extensive.

For dinner, I go to a restaurant called Salt & Pepper. Very good food but when the bill comes, it is much higher than what ...

I catch the morning train with the intent of spending the afternoon and night in Poznan then leaving the following morning. I enjoy it enough that I will spend another day.

Regional trains are half or less of the Inter City or Express trains. Interestingly, on many routes, including the one to Poznan the time of the Regional is almost the same. The others do offer better quality seating and bathrooms.

Most of the train ...

With only four hundert kilometers to Belin and five days of holiday left, there is no reason to hurry, no particular moment of doubt about the end of this trip. I can take the back roads through the dark green pine forests so abundant in Northern Poland. Maybe even cycle the remaining six hundert kilometers from Berlin to Amsterdam instead of using my return ticket by train.

Would ...

... myth/story of the original town bugler being shot with an arrow in mid performance... (this is also performed in warsaw only every hour).
Also at midday - two (mechanical!) goats appear under the clock and proceed to rotate 90degrees towards each other, then butt heads 12 times... clearly as a sign it's midday - but why they are a goats butting heads I don't ...

... the Lake...it might be there now.

Nice place to eat, read and spend some time is a shopping mall in the town called 'Stary Browar' - walking distance from the Old Town.

We used to live and work in Poznan - just before coming to India. From Poznan we went on the road to discover Croetia, Montenegro, Serbia...

... we found ourselves waiting for almost half an hour before being served at a restaurant on the square. Following a decidedly average meal we went for a short walk, but didn't venture too far, opting to spend only a short time wandering through some of the cobblestone streets before finding another place to sit and grab another pint. Perhaps if the weather had been nicer we ...

... I looked over at her partner and he didn't seem to care, so I took the directions and started moving. When I got to the top of the hill where I was supposed to turn I came to a crazy intersection and I didn't know which left to take. I turned around to look and the same couple had caught up to me - once a again the woman grabbed my hand and showed me the way. That was the last I saw of them, but it was such a weird way to relate to a stranger. I saw Ula and Ania standing in ...
