A long weekend in the Bieszczady mountains
For the long November weekend (1 November is a national holiday in Poland, and this year it fell on a Wednesday, so by taking Thursday and Friday off, we had a 5 day weekend), we decided to break out of the city vibe and drive down to Bieszczady. Bieszczady are a 6-7 hour drive from Warsaw, so you really do need longer than a regular weekend to make it worth the effort.
How Warsaw stole my heart from London
I first moved to Warsaw for a gap year, between school and university, when I was 18. I knew the city somewhat from summer holiday stop offs to see my Grandma, when I was a child. Back then, I hated it. It was so grey and ugly. I couldn’t imagine a worse and more miserable place to live.
Now that sounds very exciting!
Behind the cheesy tag line, I am a Londoner born and bred who has spent most of her adult life in Poland. I am a slight workaholic, a bit of a party animal, an animal lover, an ardent cook…and I have three children. I usually leave mentioning them until last, not because that’s where they fall in my priority list – I just find otherwise I am immediately put in the “Mum” box.
As a family, we love travelling - intercontinentally, around Europe, and across Poland. This blog is about some of the trips we've taken together.
