Travel / Weekend in Katowice [25]
I went on the Nowa Huta tour on my first visit to Krakow last year. The funniest bit was when the guide waited til we were doing 40 mph to tell us that a wheel came off the Trabant about once a month. A lot of fun as well as being informative, and I could tell he enjoyed his job. I laughed when I saw Michael Palin going on the same tour (not with the same guide though).
As regards Katowice, I've been twice. Once for a long weekend and once for just a night at the beginning of a longer tour of Poland and the Baltic countries. It's a nice city, much less touristy than Krakow but still with plenty to do. A pleasant surprise after my Polish ex told me what a dive it was when she was there, but that was many years ago.
