Aug 22, 2024 12:00 AM I am flying, but to the west!

I am flying, but to the west! Strong presence of low-cost airlines in Europe is changing my air routings. At 5 am, in the dark but watm morning I was walking from my Wojtkówka to the Gdansk airport, to board the 2,5 hours flight to London Luton. This airport has no transit zone so if you have the connection here after arrival you must go through immigration control, turn to departure hall to be controlled again by security... Sun is shining, but it is windy. I am waiting for the another cheap flight to Romania. Sometimes it is worth make a big loop, but to pay in total much less than for the direct flight!



Aug 21, 2024 12:00 AM Voyager's new season...

Voyager's new season... I am starting a new season of traveling the world! First, it will be a short trip to the mountains of Romania. I have been to this country many times, but I used local transport to get there. This effectively prevented me from reaching the higher parts of the South Carpatian Mountains. This time, a rental car will allow me to reach the high passes...
The journey will begin with low-cost flights: first from Gdansk to London, and then on to the not-so-discoverable Targu Mures airport in Transylvania. After spending the night and visiting the supposedly charming town, we will drive along two picturesque roads crossing the highest Romanian mountains. There are two scenic roads there, climbing to passes above 2000 meters: Transfogaras and Transalpina There will also be a section of the route among the monasteries of Bukovina, which can be called a sentimental journey - I traveled it with a backpack in 1972 - more than 50 years ago! Let's just hope the weather is good!



Aug 09, 2024 12:00 AM Traveller from Czech Republic

Traveller from Czech Republic Stanislav - outstanding traveller from Czechia was staying in my dach 3 nights. He tavels far and wide. Stanislav visited Austrakia, New Zealand, the Philippines and South Korea. We spent a lot of time talking about our adventures. Stanislav was also so nice to help me in the garden... Very nice person - Thank you Stan!



Jul 22, 2024 12:00 AM From Taiwan to Wojtkówka...

From Taiwan to Wojtkówka... From time to time during the summer I am hostin in my Wojtkówka travellers from all over the world. This July I had a pleasure to host Yu Hsiang Lju. We had a good time exploring together places of interest in Gdansk Old City, Westerplatte and Oliva. He enjoyed fresh vegetables from my garden...



Jul 03, 2024 10:00 PM Full day in Stockholm

Full day in Stockholm Low cost airlines sometimes offer very cheap prices. I was lucku to find 12 euro tickets Gdansk to Stockholm Arlanda. My 17-years old grandson Jabob was happy when offered his air excursion to the capital of Sweden. We departed at 6 am, landed at 7 am and had plenty of time till 11 pm (retirn flight departure) to visit Stockholm. The main expense was the electric train to Stockholm station: I paiid 420 SEK for round trip, but the grandson was travelling with me for free! We enjoyed the canals, old town and museums. Most of them offer free entry to the kids younger than 18. Finally we yse water thram to visit the canals (Stockholm is located on the islands). We had great day!

May 02, 2024 08:00 PM Constitution Day in Poland

Constitution Day in Poland It is lovely spring day in Gda?sk. Poles celebrate today National Holiday. There are many white &red flags in the streets. The flag appeared also in my Wojtkówka. Apple trees around are still in blossom - it is one of the greatest views during the year. I am expecting a visit of other travellers.



Apr 29, 2024 08:00 PM Friends in Wojtkówka

Friends in Wojtkówka I enjoy wonderful spring time in my dacha. It is the blossom time. At the same time I have a lot of work. Every day I am putting seeds into the ground, planting also cabbages, califlowers and much, much more. My dear friends are visiting me for the tea and a glass of wine (it was St. Wojciech's day on the 23rd of April. Sorry, I suspended writting - garden works have priority now :)



Apr 18, 2024 08:00 PM Again in sunny Barcelona...

Again in sunny Barcelona... Bye, bye "Grandiosa"! I was ashore already at 9 am. Imagine 5 big passenger ships docking one by one. And imagine crowd of disembarking tourists trying to find the transport to the city, long lines of the people waiting for buses and taxis... My decision eas very quick: I will walk with all my luggage. And I did! I crossed Europa Bridge, then turned to Columbus column and then went along Avenida Paralel to Plaza Espana. It is a distance - I was walking with some stops 1,5 hours... Good exercise! On exit from Plaza Espana there is stop of city bus 46 going th the airport. Is is rare bird, so allow enough time for waiting. Driver do not accept cash payment, but you can use your credit card to pay 2,55 euros fare. Many stops on the route, many traffic lights. Then, after some 40 minutes bus is reaching Terminal 2 (check in advance your terminal number - it is important!) the distance to T1 needs another 10 minutes of driving. Security check was very smooth Bravo! I was on time at the gate. After 3 hours in the air I landed on Warsaw. Uuuu... Rain and only 8 deg Celsius. I am waiting for connection to Gdansk. The big voyage (more than 2 months!) is almost over...



Apr 17, 2024 08:00 PM Walking Valencia

Walking Valencia Valencia - the third largest city in Spain has a big port. We are docking far from any terminal. People from the ship offer a shuttle bus to the center for 12 dollars round trip but it is too much for budget traveller. Nobody on the ship will tell you that from the pier there is free shuttle bus to the ferry terminal and from there you can use city bus no. 4 to get for just 1.5 euro to the central square (Ajuntamiento). But I decided to walk, to see on the way Science & Art Center - the group of the buildings of fantastic, modern architecture housing also famous oceanoghaphic museum. Since my last visit they add here new objects - lt looks very impressive but be ready to pay 34 euro for the last expensive entry tickets. Then I was walking palm- fringed avenidas to Plaza del Toros (today there was police show with motocycles and horses instead of bulls) going onward I reached old town and central square with nice fountain
Only here I round tourist info office and got a city map. Nothing like that at the cruise ships! Shame on you, beautiful Valencia! Bells ringing at 12 found me on the cathedral square. Imagine long line of the tourists, waiting for the entrance to the cathedral... But I like Valencia anyway. Tomorrow in the morning I waill be disembarking the ship in Barcelona... See you soon!
