My summer vacation to Poland and Prague was a good chance for me to
see new places in Europe I'd never been to or heard much about. I
visited family in Zakrzewo (near Bydgoszcz and Wloclawek), then some friends
in Warsaw, Krakow, and for one day and night, a youth hostel in Prague
(Czech Republic). I travelled by train ... it was a good way to see
a lot of the coutryside and is also really cheap. I spent about $400
for this whole trip, including transportation. I feel like
I'm almost as good a tourist as Rick Steves. But I don't think I
have his elegance. If you think I do have his elegance, then let
me know real soon, so that I can change. Plus, I won't make any silly
videos.

Passport control on the train Berlin - Warsaw. The 'EC' train (express - fastest I rode in Poland) had to stop in the border town Frankfurt on the Oder, where the German crew got off, and the Polish crew boarded, along with the border guard officials you see pictured. (like the U.S. Customs) |
