The beauty of Rhodes...

The ancient Greeks believed that The Rhodes Island in more beautiful than The Sun. This year I decided to verify it ! :)
Fist week of september I spend at Rhodes Island in Faliraki. Faliraki is a tipical city created for tourism, it's full of hotels, pubs, restaurants, tatoo studios, KFC's and McDonald's etc. In general there is no differences between Faliraki in Greece, Lloret de Mar in Spain and Rimini in Italy. Therefore spending time in this kind of place is not my cup of tea. However, I' ve had a great time at Rhodes because me an my fellow traveller decided to rent a car and explore all island by our own. This decision turned out to be the best we could make. So We spend a few days in a car (We even slept in this car ) but We' ve seen everything that is worth seeing in that Island. We've dicovered the beauty of Rhodes' west coast full of small beches which looks like a part of desert island, charming Greek's villages, we've tasted a local cousine and finally we could see how the real Greeks life looks like.
To sum up, Rhodes is a beautiful place, but is it realy more beautiful than the Sun? I do not know , frankly I've never been to Sun...

Wave jumping and sea walking

Last summer I visited my frieng who lives by the Baltic Sea. She has a boyfriend who was having his birtday party during my stay and I was invited. Party was in his cabin near the forest with barbeque and lots of drinks. I met a boy there and after couple of days he invited me for a pizza. He bought one and told me to follow him in the forest, which I did. After a short walk I saw a big tower in the middle of this forest which we started to climb up. After we reached the top we finally started to eat. Pizza was almost cold but the views were amazing. We stayed there for some time and safely climbed down. After that adventure he told me that the first girl who's going to climb that tower with him will become his wife. I was taken aback by his confession and I politely refused. He wasn't sad because I think he knew what I was going to say. After that "event" we went to the beach and walked by the sea shore towards the sunset.

Lazy vacations

This summer I spent at home. I haven't been in any interesting places, just hanging around my hometown.
I was helping around the house and making compotes from apples, pears, plums and other fruits and vegetables.
Also I tried not to spend all day in house so I was taking short, one-day bike trips to the near villages or to the lake. The distance we travelled was about 40 - 60 km for a day, but we did it just about a few times in a week.
On the other days I was staying at house and reading book or hanging out with my friends. It was just a normal vacations and nothing special happened.
But I rested well and after that I was relaxed and refreshed so I could come back to Wrocław with full reserves of energy :)

Waldklettergarten

Another lazy “weekend”(read: Sunday)  after hardworking week? Not with my sister and brother-in-law! She decided to go out somewhere and because she likes to spend active her free time we went to Stuttgart. But not to discover this beautiful city...

                         

...just to behave like a monkeys.

In the middle of the city is a “Waldklettergarten” - Ropes course.

http://www.waldklettergarten-stuttgart.de/

5 parcours of 4,7,8 and 11 meters, each consisting of 7-17 elements. “Pretty easy… “– I thought.

First we’d  had lesson how to safely enjoy the time and then we started to climb. The first one was easy not to high and obstacles were easy to overcome. So we took another one… After two hours my sister sad that she’s exhausted and decided not to climb anymore – but me and her husband wanted to go on 11 meters…

When he came up the ladder to the 3 / 4 height said that it was too high - who would have thought that my brother in law  is afraid of something. But when I went to the same height I understood ...

It would be to exhausting to went through 17 elements – because when you start you have to go to the end of the route.

But there is always the “next time”.

…

Next day 5.30 – time when I had to wake up to go to work – “HELP!!! I have muscle fever!”

My first airplane flight

This summer I was in Skorzęcin. It’s a small city in Poland near the lake. It’s a nice place but there were nothing special happened. So I want to tell you something what heppened before holiday. It was June, I and several people from that direction (GP) flew to Rimini. It’s a wonderful place in Italy located on the Adriatic Sea. We met there a very interesting people but we had a problem communiacating with them because they don’t sapek English, only Italish. It was incredible experience for me because I flew a plane for the first time. At first I was scared but later I realised that it wasn’t as horrible as I thought. I spent great time with my friends laughing and watching unforgettable views, for example Alps. Thanks to it I forgot about fear.

It was also a roadtrip!

This summer I wanted to go on a "roadtrip", so my aim was to visit all places at Baltic sea. I packed with my friend some clothes and food to the car and our roadtrip started. We began from Szeczin, through Kołobrzeg, Mielno, Łeba to Sopot and Gdańsk. This trip was full of adventures because every day we slept in other towns in a small ten at camping. Exciting an a little bit scared was when our GPS told us to go through wood and we hadn't got any idea where we were, but altgough the viewa were stunning.Very interesting was also to see in Sopot some famous people from Tv. For example we saw Dariusz Michalczewski drinking with friends or Kuba Wojewódzki with new girlfriend. I must say, that they look better in the television, than in fact.

On this holiday I didn't do nothing interesting. My all time I spended in job but I was three weaks in Gdańsk. I worked but I had time for walked and relaxed. The last time on polish sea I was with my parents when I had two years. After I was only on peninsula Hel's and I have never been in big sea resort. Gdańsk was wonderful. I had a flat near Neptun's so I spent my all evenings on old city and in nice restaurants. I walked along river Motława. I saw so many old buildings and churchs. This city is very nice I was there only three weeks but I'm fealing like at home. After Wrocław this is a second city where I will able to live in.
