Our travels

Paris through those who are gone

Père-Lachaise Cemetery, the largest and most famous cemetery in Paris was founded in 1804 in the gardens adjacent to Villa Mont-Louis, donated by Louis XIX her confessor, Père Lachaise (Father Lachaise). Hence the name of the cemetery. In a warm afternoon we went (by metro) to the cemetery. Each of...

Paris - step by step

Full of music impressions after the jazz concert,  we got a still greater desire for visual effects – we decided to start with  the Musee d'Orsay. It was as a very impressive decision of  Paris city authorities to waive the demolition of a decaying train station and turn it into an art museum. Not ...

Already in Paris!

EasyJet took us to the airport Orly, from which, by tramway (!) and metro we got to our hotel in the 6th district - right on the Boulevard Saint-Germain - in the heart of the Latin Quarter.

What amazes us are hudge banners, big inscriptions and advertisements placed outside the building: If Tate Modern was Musée de la Danse? We are going inside and admiring not only the gallery, but al...

Rainy London welcoming

How  beautiful the Polish coast is can be viewed from an airplane on the route Szczecin - London Stansted in fine weather.   Then there were just clouds, fog and rain. Naturally, it was raining in London. Then waiting a long in a  queue for the bus on the way to Victoria Station. From Victoria in...

Last supper

And again, "La Fraschetta" (a witch). This time we're celebrating a farewell dinner. We're here because we like the food and wine. Moderate prices and warm and eficient service despite  the 100% occupancy. Some eat pizzas (the vegetarian one, the best in the world), some soup with mussels , and ot...
