Breslau of course....and Danzig...but I would like to see the other towns too. I like Street View, it's much fun walking through towns far away...:) Bzibzioh: Have you ever been to Poland? No...maybe I should?

Bratwurst Boy: I like Street View, it's much fun walking through towns far away...:) I know!! I visited London this way :) Bratwurst Boy: Breslau of course. No wonder rolling eyes I visited Wrocław once but I didn't like it much. Very heavy German architecture, I've never been big fan. Sorry. Bratwurst Boy: No...maybe I should? Yeah, you should. It's close, you know.

cjj: "next year" is the key information for anyone intent on heading over to google right now. Meanwhile you can go to Zumi.pl where you can have a virtual tour of 15 Polish cities all together about 200 kilometers worth.

Bratwurst Boy: No...maybe I should? Yes, definitely! I've been to Germany and Poland and it was a L O N G trip! You are just a hop, skip and a jump! :-) I believe you would find a lot to love about Poland.

When I was in Gdańsk, I stayed with friends one time, and another time when I was in Ireland I hopped on a Ryanair flight just to just walk around Gdańsk on my own. I was proud of myself for remembering where to go, and to be able to buy stamps at the post office, simple things that my very, very limited Polish allowed me to do.

I stayed at The Baltic Hostel which really looked kind of creepy, but the place was run by friendly people. The manager/owner provided breakfast every morning and snacks all through the day. Supper was not obligatory, but if you were around when he made his supper, you would be invited for bigos or whatever he had. I would avoid it in summer though as they do not have enough bathrooms for lots of people, but fall and spring are good times. It is close enough to walk anywhere you wish in Gdańsk.

BUT, right in the old town of Gdańsk, on the river, is boat that is a hostel. I was very tempted to stay there, but thought it might be too cold for me in the late fall when I was there.

And who knows, if Wildrover is still in Poland, he'd probably welcome you to his farm.

I always had a soft spot for Lower Silesia and Opole. Especially Breslau... The architecture reminds me so much of my Flanders. Which is of course explicable. Being a Hanze city, very much related to my native Antwerp.
