10/07/2022 – FAREWELL OMICRON, WELCOME BUSKO-SPA

 

“F … YOU MAN”

 

– THIS IS PROBABLY HOW FUCKING COVID FINALLY SUMMED UP HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ME YESTERDAY. HE UNDERSTOOD, THAT HE WAS WASTING HIS PRICELESS TIME ON ME. WELL, WHAT’S THE POINT OF BOTHERING YOURSELF, TRYING FOR NINE DAYS TO FUCK PEOPLE WHOSE BODY DOES NOT EVEN NOTICE THE OMICRON ACTIVITY. ON TOP OF THAT, THEY SIT AT HOME WITH NO CHANCE OF INFECTING ANYONE. THE FUCKING VIRUS, THANKFULLY, HAS NOT YET REACHED THE LEVEL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPMENT. IF HE WILL, KNOWING OUR PLANS, HE WOULD STAY INSIDE ME A BIT LONGER. WELL, HE RESIGNED JUST IN TIME, ALLOWING US TO IMPLEMENT A LONG-ESTABLISHED PLAN.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, WE, AND KRI FROM ROME, HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A WEEK’S TRIP TO POLISH BADEN-BADEN. IT WOULDN’T T BE FUNNY IF YET ANOTHER LANDING OF THE “WUHAN VIRUS” THWARTED WOMBACIK’S CAREFULLY PLANNED OUTING.

LET ME REMIND YOU, THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF 2020, WE HAD TO CANCEL OUR TRIP TO CHINA, AND NOT MORE THAN A WEEK AGO, BECAUSE OF THE OMICRON WE DID NOT REACH, THE EAGERLY AWAITED 7-DAY CRUISE ON THE MASURIAN LAKES.

 

TARGET: THE SUNSHINE VILLA (“WILLA SLONECZNA”)

 

THE SUNSHINE VILLA IN BUSKO-SPA

 

WE SET OFF WITHOUT HASTE. ULTIMATELY, IT IS ONLY 144 km, AND THE HOTEL DAY AT “THE SUNSHINE VILLA” STARTS AT 2 pm.

I WAS SURPRISED BY THE EMPTY ROADS AND LPG PRICES ON THIS SIDE OF THE COUNTRY.

WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION AS PLANNED. WE GOT JUST ENOUGH TIME TO HAVE DINNER AFTER UNPACKING AND BEFORE A VISIT TO THE REHABILITATION DOCTOR QUALIFYING FOR REHABILITATION, REGENERATION AND RECOVERY TREATMENTS.

THE PLACE CHOSEN BY WOMBACIK LIES HALFWAY BETWEEN THE FIRST “NIGHT SHELTER” WE USED A YEAR AGO AND OUR FAVOURITE SPA – THE TERMA SLOWACKI, TO WHICH WE IMMEDIATELY WENT FOR A SEARCH.

AS WE EXPECTED, THE PRICES OF THE SERVICES WENT UP. THE 90-min. ENTRY TO THE REHABILITATION AND LEISURE POOLS WAS RAISED BY 20%. HOWEVER, BUYING A 10-ENTRY PASS IMMEDIATELY SAVES 10%.

SATISFIED WITH THE INFORMATION, WE RETURNED TO THE DORMITORY, TOOK OUR SWIMMING GEAR AND COME BACK TO START OUR BUSKO HOLIDAYS SESSION. FOR 90 “MOMENTS” WE RELAXED OUR BODIES IN VARIOUS CONTAINERS OFFERING: WATER MASSAGES IN THE FORM OF BUBBLES, WHIPS, FLOGGING OR CURRENTS. WE SOAKED OUR TIRED BONES IN THE SO-CALLED CANOPY POOL, THE SULPHUR BASIN AND THE MINERAL WATER POOL. TO FINISH, WE SATURATED OUR LUNGS BY INHALING SALT WATER IN A SMALL GRADUATION TOWER.

AFTER RETURNING TO THE DORMITORY, IT WAS FINALLY TIME FOR THE SO-CALLED ‘GET-TO-KNOW-YOU’ PARTY. IT WAS FUN …

14÷16.09.2018 – PRZESIEKA. A CLASH WITH THE KARKONOSZE NATURE

.

WE WENT ON A LONG-POSTPONED VISIT TO FRIENDS FROM LOWER SILESIA. WE SPENT A FEW DAYS WITH THEM, GETTING TO KNOW ONE OF THE LESSER-KNOWN CORNERS OF OUR COUNTRY – PRZESIEKA – A VILLAGE LOCATED IN THE CZERWIENIA VALLEY, MYI AND PODGORNA VALLEY. (more…)

22 ÷ 26.08.2018 – BARYCZ VALLEY ATTRACTIONS

.

THE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT IN “W STARYM MŁYNIE” (IN THE OLD MILL). I WILL START WITH THIS – BECAUSE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT TRAVEL IS GOOD ACCOMMODATION AND TASTY FOOD. LOCATED ABOUT 5 km FROM MILICZ, THE “IN THE OLD MILL” INN INCLUDES 9 ROOMS WITH BATHROOMS AND A SMALL RESTAURANT. (more…)

20-21.07.2018 – IN THE “SIEGED” MALBORK

.

THE TRIP TO MALBORK HAS BEEN PLANNED FOR A LONG TIME. THIS TIME IT’S A FAMILY-FRIENDLY TRIP. FEW NO SPRING CHICKENS AND THE KIDS. THE IDEA IS TO USE THE ANNUAL HISTORICAL STAGING ORGANIZED THERE, TO INSTILL THE DESIRE FOR LEARNING THE NOT-DISTORTED HISTORY OF POLISH SOIL IN THE YOUNGER GENERATION. (more…)

30.10.2017 – MIEDZYGORZE

DO YOU KNOW MIEDZYGORZE? NO? REGRET… THIS BEAUTIFUL SETTLEMENT LOST AMONGST SUDETEN FOREST CORNERS IS PARALYSING WITH ONE’S CHARM. MOSTLY UNTOUCHED BY THE ARCHITECTS OF THE POLISH CROOKED COMMUNISM ERA, IT MOVED US TO THE BEGINNING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. GREAT PLACE FOR A FEW DAYS GETAWAY. (more…)

17.08.2017 – WELCOME TO BIESZCZADY MOUNTAINS

.

YESTERDAY IN THE LATE EVENING WE ARRIVED AT THE BIESA PALACE IN OLSZANICA FOR THE NIGHT. HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE MORNING WE WERE ABLE TO APPRECIATE THE PLACE, WHERE WE SPENT THE NIGHT. (more…)

16.08.2017 – THE CARPATHIAN TROY

.

WE MADE PLANS FOR THIS TRIP FOR MONTHS. THE INITIATOR WAS MY MOM, WHO A FEW YEARS AGO LEARNED ABOUT THE WONDERFUL DISCOVERY OF POLISH ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN THE SWIETOKRZYSKIE VOIVODESHIP. FOR A LONG TIME, WE WERE UNABLE TO COORDINATE THE DATE OF THE EXPEDITION TO SUIT ALL INTERESTED PARTIES. EITHER SOMEONE COULD NOT GO, ANOTHER TIME THE CAR REBELLED. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS THE ATTEMPT TO COMBINE A TRIP TO TRZCINICA – CARPATHIAN TROY WITH THE VISIT TO A DISTANT “FAMILY” IN THE BIESZCZADY MOUNTAINS. SUCH A VISIT COULD ADD BLUSHES FOR OUR OUTING, AROUSING MEMORIES. IT ISN’T HOWEVER EASILY TO COORDINATE THE TRIP TO THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS WITH THE CARE OF THE CAT, EVERYDAY DUTIES, AND THE VISIT TO THE PLACE THAT ONE SAW LAST IN 1983. ESPECIALLY, IF WE HAVE AMONGST SIGHTSEERS TWO AGEING LADIES. (more…)

03.08.2017 – ZEROMSKI AND SUCHANEK IN ORLOWO

.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE GATHERING CLOUDS HERALDED RAIN FOR OUR FAREWELL. (more…)

03.08.2017 – FAREWELL TO ORLOWO

.

IN THE MORNING, HAVING A MOMENT OF TIME, WE POPPED OUT ON THE GDYNIA ORLOWO PIER. ORLOWO HAS CHANGED A LOT. IT BECAME PRETTIER, TOOK ON EUROPEAN CHARM. CLEAN, NEAT, PROSPEROUS. (more…)

02.08.2017 – CROWDED GDANSK

.

IN THE MORNING WE RACED AGAIN WITH TIME.

02.08.2017 – GDANSK – MUSEUM OF THE II WW

.

TICKETS TO THE WORLD WAR II MUSEUM WE BOUGHT ONLINE MUCH EARLIER. THE INFORMATION ON THE MUSEUM WEB PAGES VERY PRECISELY DEFINES THE RECOMMENDED VISIT TIME, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT DIFFERENT ENTRY HOURS.
