Radisson SAS Hotel Wroclaw

... had also been told that there's a traditional Kelo-sauna (sauna made of logs) on the back yard outside the main building. We were both totally amazed by the effort they've have put in here to let people experience the real sauna culture! The sauna hut was exactly like the ones you might see back home beside the lakes and soooo damn crowded inside that we were lucky to find a place to sit. I tried to count how many people were in there, and without lieing I bet over 50 for sure in a room ...

... is not much different from Western Europe now, and with a price advantage fading fast, it’s questionable what the real attraction is, besides a novelty factor that is itself fading. Fortunately you can put the question on hold in Wroclaw, which is a tad lower-key than Krakow, with ensuing price breaks.

If it seems wasteful to be going in circles over the map of Europe, you can put that thought on hold, too. My flight to Barcelona ...

We booked the flights!!!! We'll be taking a train to Prague and then flying to New Delhi via Istanbul on 26th February 2010. I can't even imagine first 6,5h in train and then 2,5+6h in the plane, gosh... I think I'll run out off my jokes and Aneta off her sense of humour well before getting there :-D

Neither of us had dared to request holidays for the ...

... reconstructed after the siege in 1945). There is a beautiful glass fountain and a monument to the writer Aleksander Fredro. Just off the main square is a smaller square (The Salt Square) which was originally used for trading salt but now is full of flower stalls. Dotted through the town are some very cute brass gnomes in various poses.

During my first week in Wroclaw, I stayed in a hostel right in the centre of city. Nathan's Villa turned out to be the best place to crash in after a night out and the worst when trying to get some sleep before the alarm went off on a work morning... located next to the big circle road, all the bloody noise from the traffic came to the room. Since coming here alone, I wanted to share the room with others purely for meeting other ...

... too late..
I got kicked out off the building, as "according to the Polish law, you are not allowed to be in the office building if you haven't been examined by a doctor on your first day of employment."

Seriously. I had already taken a decent walk yesterday to explore the city centre, now I had another full day ahead without an idea what to do in this strange place by myself. I returned to the hostel, it was still before noon. April isn't yet ...

... the oldest part of Wrocław. It's a small medieval island on the Odra river, the second largest river of Poland. Ostrów Tumski has got a Gothic cathedral that looks stunning in the winter in the snow falling down, and at night when it is mirrored in the river. It's worth mentioning, however, that during the off-season the towers are not lit past 2:00 a.m., which can turn out slightly disappointing ...

... Army in a battle it lost. The painting is massive. It's 360 degrees (thus a panorama), is 15 metres high and I don't remember how long but at least 100m long. How long it took to paint the thing I have no idea. And to go on more about the Olympics, I also got to see fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt, destroy the competition in the 200m. That guy is amazing. So there you go, Wroclaw. Nice city and I finally got to see some Olympic coverage. Made me very happy.

... is especially true in a college town, called Wroclaw (Breslau). If you are in the ages of 18 - 22, you must, absolutely must, visit Wroclaw. It is a young dude's dream come true. 2) Women Walking - a ton of women walking around, clutch their arm on the arm of their male companion (boyfriend or not). It looks like they're practicing for walking down the aisle at a wedding. 3) Toilets - While Thailand has ...
