Our travels

Na lewym brzegu Wełtawy

Through Germany, the road to Prague took us less than 6 hours. It was a wet Friday - it was raining all the time. Prague welcomed us with dark clouds and cold! 8 degrees C! We are staying at the quay (left bank of the Vltava) with a graceful name: Janáčkovo Nábřeží. The view from the fifth floor ...

To Prague, not to Praga

We are catching up in visiting the capitals of European countries! Time for the Czech Prague!  Have you been wondering (or maybe you know) why this capital is called that? According to tradition, the original Czech name of the city of Praha comes from the Czech word práh. The etymology of the na...

Goinng back home

At the RER commuter train station, we finish our stay in Paris.   From here to the airport, then to Berlin and home. The whole trip lasted 12 hours this time, because there were long breaks and a lot of waiting.   IMPORTANT NOTICE: At the airports in Berlin and Paris - you absolute...

A good-bye walk late at night

And that's how it came to say good-bye ... But still a late-evening walk in a district full of restaurants, but apparently those for younger and less wealthy customers. Where do these young people get the money to sit and drink in the pubs? But the most important thing is that they enjoy life and...

Sunny Sunday in P.

From ten in the morning till four in the afternoon we let our legs work hard, and despite using the metro we walked several thousand steps. Please appreciate it. And read a little and see photos from Paris anno domini 2022. Your legs won't hurt! Currently, the Eiffel Tower is undergoing a major re...

At the Opera

Excited by the event awaiting us at the Opera, we did not check the time of the performance and that is why we arrived at the Opera Square 2 hours early ... So, we had the opportunity to watch the crowds in the square and the packed restaurants. A bit chilly (around 12 degrees) despite the blue sk...

Opera night at the Palais Garnier (National Opera)

Some go to Rome to see the Pope, others to Paris to watch a show at Folie Bergère. We are here, among other reasons, to support Polish artists who are successful abroad. Today we are going to be at the National Opera to see a performance "A Quiet Place". After Gazeta Wyborcza (Anna S. Dębowska): ...

Notre Dame still sad

This morning (Saturday) a long walk along the Île de la cité (the heart of Paris). We thoughtfully watched the reconstruction of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which has been going on for several years and it seems that it will take a long time. Crowds of tourists, most often in groups, led by chatty g...
