Life / Life in Bydgoszcz [39]

I'll be back in Bydgoszcz in about 3 weeks, just for a week i think, i'll give you a shout when i am there, not sure of the exact dates, i might be back in Krakow before you get to Bydgoszcz.

If you do got to Sowas, may i recommend the tort pralinowe or if you have a really sweet tooth tort truflowe.

Life / Life in Bydgoszcz [39]

I'm shocked there has been no mention of Adam Sowa Cukernia's so far in this talk of Bydgoszcz, for me that is the best part of my regular visits to Bydgoszcz, other than seeing the family of course.

A sunny afternoon spent sat outside Adam Sowa on Ul. Mostowa watching the world go by is hard to beat. Although now i am in Krakow i have found better views, but not the same quality of cake (apart form a shop in Ul Szpitalnia which sells Adam Sowa cakes, but has a crap view), but i guess that is for a different thread.

Study / Aviation for non-Polish in Poland [11]

I went for a fly in Bydgoszcz recently, was a bit of a struggle with the language, and i did not do the radio as that was all done in Polish, but i'm sure in future the tower will speak English for me.

There was a really nice girl there whose English was really good, unfortunately i forgot her name, i can't even remember where she usually flies, either wroclaw or maybe more likely wloclawek.

So i would be interested to hear how you get on.

This will be of limited use to you not speaking Polish h t tp://w w w.aeroklub.wroc.pl/node/17
but it gives you a phone number, and the address (no surprise that the address is the airport)

also the price for a lesson in a cessna 150 was 350zl and hour for members and 500 for non members, but i didn't get the bottom of cost of membership, it involved a yearly fee and monthly fee so didn't make sense for me as i was only visiting. but still a little cheaper than DonAir but then DonAir have better aircraft (152s) and fly out of East Midlands, where as Bydgoszcz use a grass strip in the grounds of Bydgoszcz airport.
