Time to write something on this temet, because it is already with 1.5 months had elapsed since the return ...

I do not like expeditions to Copenhagen by train at night. Departure from the peninsula of Zealand (or vice versa) is a veritable school of patience, because any, odds are very sparse. For this Kolding ... almost certain change, and long waits in Frederycji. Also how it got that depart from Copenhagen, Billund and not the hair stood up to us. Us feeling confused. To get to 7.45 for a briefing, we had to travel to Odense, Neither the night before, sleep a few hours and move on to the 4.00 train. The second option is to go to Kolding before 23.00 and somewhere on the station to wait ... and thanked this option.

Fortunately, the train journey itself potrwała without problems. We drove into the same airport. In good humor and encouraging the airport decided to support themselves partly to check in, which resulted in the fact that all the stickers on the bags were in my name (fortunately there was no problem with that) and quite randomly booked a place in aircraft

The first part of the journey, from Copenhagen to Munich, passed quickly. Lufthansa was on time, handed out sandwiches and drinks, Step off. Yes neutral. service can not recall. For the second part of the SpainAir, from Munich to Valencia, was more remembered by us. Late departure, the plane is not his youth, not a smooth seat for more than 80% were Hispanic paseżerów not embarrassing to talk loudly flight attendant speaking English with a Spanish accent, which forced us to focus on one (that's English? Who knew what?) And should awaken in us the suspicion (but not raised, but come back to this later.) Martin got one of the broken places, and I must admit that przesadzono not only him but also me and Ana, we can sit together - it's nice We landed safely and healthily, luggage picked a much faster rate than in Greece, which was filled to some surprise in that chaos

Mentally prepared to attack the heat and humidity, but there was no shock. Marched to a point of information, we got the map (which has become a constant companion) and information on how to reach the outskirts of downtown, where we pick up the keys to the apartment we were popchnięci + toward the subway. Even where you have got out. Then began the stairs, and marched in the back and along a street. With luggage and clothes from Denmark in 35 degrees Well, but we found the agency before the time of its opening (only 16-18) and sat in a nearby bar malusim. Mrs. supports older, did not speak English but Anne is remembered as the three-and-water in Spanish. To our great fortune was Spanish for a while in school ... Encouraged by the poster ordered a tortilla and tortilla espinacas Patata - which was supposed to be, according to read information on the network, omelette with potato and potato omelette with spinach. Karfofle and spinach were. The average length of the baguette ... or niezjadalne for Martin. Anne recalled how the bread in Spanish. And we have learned that when it comes, and tortillas, you need to find out whether or not version bagietkowa ...

We have received the keys (we changed accommodation for technical reasons - whatever that meant - we had to be near the beach and dropped out of the center between the beach and with a tendency toward the center), wsiadliśmy the taxanes, shown on the map where you want (well, that the agency kobita zaaznaczyła circle on the map above) and we were on the spot. The apartment was located in one of the main streets leading to the sea. Seven-story building and narrow, with elevated ground floor, where the shop was located. The apartment itself - lovely. And far too great for us because it can accommodate 7 people (We ordered less). The apartment had a width of the length of the living room, which was narrow but it dłuuuuuuuugaśne, for bathroom, kitchen and four bedrooms went from the hallway just to the right side. The windows of the rooms opened onto a small closed courtyards. Only the living room overlooked the street. Since there were many narrow buildings, so I think that this style of building.

On that day, yet we found a super-sam called Consume , Shopping (eg, vacuum-packed potato tortilla ) - The cashier did not speak English but, fortunately, what are ekraniki, unpacked and padliśmy ...

In total, it's interesting happening - we went - to work. Luckily, only three weeks, and on vacation.

Pokusiliśmy is 'only' to paint the main room, which is probably more than half of home: kitchen, living area and corner computer ... it lasted 2.5 days - most of which is securing and cleaning. Macabre rather than we played in subtlety ... but the walls and ceiling for us. Now the doors and windows żółtością s scare. Wait for wenę

Since we are in Denmark, Anne said before that in the end go to the Polish. There was about 10 years. But it was always something along the way - and it is safe, and this lack of time or other plans. But in the end decided to move. She knew that we choose, so she wanted us. Any less than two weeks before leaving asked whether Kristine can go with it. We found that we do this but then they will have to find some accommodation. Any, found, moreover, a stone's throw from the Fenka. Literally.
Martin, Anne and Kristine went on Wednesday. My free only started on Friday. Martin went before, because he wanted to arrange the gates biotraxonu (something else) - to be able to take him two full weeks. Also, the other three rode in a Ford and I arrived by bus and I am on a Sunday.
Martin bitter because he failed to settle the infusion. Namęczył is to get all the hardware and the same biotraxon - and that was the beginning ... hospitals, including private and refused - even for money. As for me, it amounted to the fact that the order was not written by a local. Making the infusion would be possible, but we need to have at least a week more to be able to jog after doctors in private that one had written such an order once again to the gates ...

Available in Danish

In addition, Martin was tired of Kristine. This was an obsession that we all want it to cheat and pull out money ... ugadać taxi driver wanted for a fixed fee, the bill for accommodation was to be, "What the dentist teeth resealed? Because in Denmark, it is permitted only in silver and plastic! "Well, I had to find out what this means and what plastic resealed Polish dentist, he 'certainly an old characteristics, which in Denmark is already prohibited and may cause headaches." Not unacceptable to her was the fact that the Polish dentist how he did it in Denmark and for less money. Comforted by the fact that 'anesthesia still alive? Anesthesia is probably like in the old in Denmark, because Denmark is already after 15 min. descends ... 'etc ... I feel like proud newspaper from the table and upholstery it on the head.
Took them four days and it was actually a little boring. There I was running with them around the city showing what prettier sights. Oh, no, because they have seen everything - took a rickshaw and a nice guy after all obwiózł them and they already know and wszyskto all heard - "And you know zo meant to house the image of monkeys" (with Martin and then we took the same and it is 0 , 5 h after the tour at major facilities. Cool, but you can not say that everything is seen. I would have treated this as a preface, where you can later go through and get inside.) Walking is not, but it was looking masarzystki, salon pedicure, jewelry shops and any souvenirs, we were at the dentist said (bad word I can say about it) and optykach and okulistach (mina doctor when within three wpakowałyśmy - priceless). Unless I sat in at least half of the gardens - a positive, at least I ate pancakes in the dummy, because they tasted it there on Anya occurred ... Kristina is different. This is done, what he wanted above all Kristine. On the last day, when I had opuściś quarters, went the first time and not have gone somewhere. We passed the Garrison - 'Oh, what a nice church. You can go inside? "As usual with Garrison, but it could not be pulled thread and assumed it to the nearby church of Jacob." Oh, how old. And as for the bodies of old age. And what is it? "- They asked, pointing to the side chapels. That's a fact, such old and large churches in Denmark is not. At least I have not seen in southern Jutland. At that ended Aug. sightseeing, Kristine because she felt ill, drank water and fees, of course, we returned to Antczak. With some relief I put them on the bus, because I felt like oprowadzacz and załatwiacz matters terribly rozszczeniowo. And it was hell, my availability.

Art

As if this were not enough, my stomach refused to obey, so almost all sat at home Friday. Late in the afternoon I felt confident and started to crawl away to the Centre for Contemporary Art. We visited three exhibitions: We went to the Croatian, Do not look directly at the sun room and kitchen. The first two mingled in my memory in one ... and why?
The so-called contemporary art to me, never spoke and still speaks. And this time it was. For this kind of an intensification of the interaction with the audience and boil down to whether to look at a tube to see a movie like someone was walking on the grass, and each is recorded. We could still see the face of a bearded man (maybe it was someone famous but it was so interesting that I'm comfortable with my ignorance), the water flowing in the bath, treat the water from the hose and nude Sex is so much in my memory was. Fragments of Kafka on the walls. If I think about something, the artists wanted to draw attention to something - something I missed, there was no context. And I must say that it augured well with półmrokowi, point podświetleniom and music in the background. I do not know, maybe I had to walk from the booklet that they gave us at the entrance? I read what the artist wanted to convey? :> One thing positive in my mind was this tiny room, completely dark, with a thick sponge on the floor and the speakers on the walls. If zasłoniło two curtains, a truly Egyptian darkness prevailed. The speakers at different heights reached constant voices of different intensities. I was not sure how far away are the walls and voices wprawiały the confusion - had the impression, as if someone said behind his back and side, for awhile at the height of the foot, while somewhere high. For this, I knew that somewhere there lurks a Martin but fortunately it sensed the stress of a sponge ... the overall impression was amazing and applause for by leaflets - Mermaids TV. According to a website not walked into a room with walls made of red udrapowaniami - what could be interesting - once an association with the Twin Peaks - Although the other colors.
In the meantime, we went to the terrace on the roof - but not of the admiring views, it built a pity ... because what could be a pretty lean widoczki.
Even the second floor is a fashion - but first ... can be summed up as - a development of short video clips on the topic of extra space. So projectors / projectors + a few tables and books + no doubt an attraction in the form of a worker who, along with two bodyguards dziewoi ever walked behind us, which was funny at the beginning and really annoying at the end (you can not touch the exhibit - it's like a jigsaw puzzle of bones on the floor). First piętru said definitely not.
For the café on the ground floor, there was still room with kitchen - it will be a place of discussion, meetings, artistic actions. This is especially me not kidnapped - mainly by the fact that almost all the furniture was built with hardboard and lacked something for contrast, as more clearly than the green seats and cushions. While I understand that as a place niebiletowane and public - must have been a bit wet behind the ears ... in Poland there is still no respect for common and better in every case does not invest in other materials ... ah, had read that it is a kind of reference to the "Brazilian faweli - settlements in the outskirts of cities, built from recycled material. "Well, the context appeared in the brochure ... ... pity words ...

Gothic, Gothic, Gothic

With Mom and Staszek one day we went to Malbork. On the way to the castle ruins zawadziliśmy in Radzyń Chełmiński / Rehden or Rheden, dawn. Radzyn. In this small town ostały the beautiful ruins of the castle of the Teutonic Knights. Supposed to have been secured to continue not dilapidated - reinforced concrete slab. Quite a big castle had to be - the size of przyrównałabym him to do in Kolding, but nicer peremptorily Knights Castle was the seat, then Polish spokesmen. They began to put it in the late thirteenth century and destroyed in the seventeenth century during the Swedish invasion, dismantled the next two centuries ...
Of the four towers ostały two - unless one of them can enter yourself. Unfortunately, sometimes naglone obiegłyśmy around and ruin the car ... which is a pity, really a pity that not zajrzałyśmy ...

Next stop was in Kwidzyn / Quedin / Kwedis / Insula Sanctae Mariae / Marienwerder. This city, which dates back to November and whose names are entered in the story, of course, the Knights . We flew the team to see the castle and cathedral. The origins of the castle is a year around 1322 and the cathedral 1325th Of course, the brick Gothic. The church was opened, not castle-museum, because it was Monday ... whimpering ... impressive building (castle and church are connected). I lived many years close to these beauties and there I was whimpering ... ... It is a pity that the church is inside the 'white wall' but that is a remnant of the ewangelikach who plastered the interior.

About Malbork / Marienburg I will not write much, because ... unless each of your friends, or there was something about the local castle heard. My observations: It seems to me something that complex grows / rebuilds ... feeling a bit spoiled 'commercial wrapper': already on the bridge get leaflets about the inn from the spider, then the government of the same stalls with uniform 'unique' gift ... the castle lost in all this. And that sometimes it looks all too recently, for the young ... but still impressive and though it was Monday, so there was only an option to move through the gardens, with murzach and a few areas, the same thing except it took three hours marszo-course ... you will have to choose in advance and any other day of the week ... and despite all this machineri stalls, I'll go back happy ...
