Travel / PTTKs (Beskidy Red route) [6]
Thank you to both of you - that is really helpful. We are coming Ryanair (only hand luggage) - we can each probably fit in a sleeping bag but may need to buy a bedroll in Krakow. How much might we pay - and can anyone suggest a good shop to buy from?

Travel / PTTKs (Beskidy Red route) [6]
We are planning to walk along the Beskidy Red route from around rabka towards dunajec in late September/early October and stay in mountain PTTKs. Is it necessary to book ahead? Do we need to take bedding? Do they serve breakfast(I know they have main meals etc). is there anything else we should know? Thanks!

Travel / Traveling on a TLK (Tanie Linie Kolejowe) - where to buy tickets? [13]
we are thinking of traveling on a TLK train, but read that you needed reservations. Where can you buy these tickets? Just at a station before you travel or do you need to purchase the day before?

thank you - we're thinking early September - is that still warm enough? And our tent is good and waterproof!

Travel / Camping in the Baltic Coast area, too cold? [16]
We are now thinking of some camping in our travels along Baltic Coast . On a previous post it seems that some think it might be a bit too cold. Any thoughts?

Travel / Trip from Szczecin to.. - advice on when to stop off in Poland [5]
Posted part of this as end of thread elsewhere in forum but wanted to give it a separate entry!
We reach Szczecin on last Monday in August and would like to fly back from somewhere further east in Poland about 11 days later (probably Gdansk but not necessarily), stopping off again at some stage in £eba. Not wanting to spend too much monies and enjoying art, beaches, interesting city centres and beautiful Polish countryside, where would you stop off if you were making trip?
Many thanks!

Travel / Poland-My 9-day experience [239]
Gdansk old town is great - if you only walk through in 10 -15 mins rather than stop to look in Crane, go to St Mary's, visit Artus Court, see ul MAriacka, National Museum, Oliwa, Westerplatte....
We visited the Baltic Coast last summer and we were loved Wolin Nat Park, bison, sand dunes at Leba, forests along sea and sunsets over sea along coast
And since as Londoner
Agreed - we hate it too, but it becomes part of the adventure and a perfect illustration of the weird way we Brisitsh have of doing things sometime, plus the fact that we Brits also , like Poland, have had certain economic problems for years. We try to fly from Gatwick! But at least we have the choice of more than one airport
I love our cheap shops. I love the fact that Poles can come to UK and sometimes get cheaper clothes than at home (eg TKmax). One of our services to Europe apart from our tragi-comic football team.
Ouch! I think you might find they are all English - you might find there parents or grandparents perhaps were not born in the uk. Such a comment could easily suggest troll like qualities, but I'm going for cultural insensitivity
Having addressed these vital points (and adding how much we enjoyed meeting various Polish peoples especially the peoples at the Baptist Church in Gdynia and the amazing Magda and Magdalena in London and Ola the massager in Gdynia etc - and that it might be nice if people in Polish shops smiled a bit more but then you could say you wish that the british stopped being grinning so stupidly for no reason -culture hey ) , we are turning up in Szczecin on a Monday at the end of August by coach from Berlin and plan to book a flight back from somewhere in the east 12 days later (probably Gdansk but not necessarily), stopping off again at some stage in £eba.

England is full of natural beauty where as the only place that has natural beauty and its own character in Poland is Zakopane.

Pathetic transport to Airport (it took longer to get to Stanstead Airport from London than fly from the airport to Poland)

Too many chairty and 1 Pound/ Pawn shops ( signs of a broken country)

Too many foreigners- When we landed at terminal 3 of heathrow Airport, not a single englishman in sight among border officers checking passports.
