So today I left Minsk for Poland, I am going to Warsaw first which is the capital. I am going to Krakow too which I am looking forward to. I have never been to Poland before so I am excited to see the country, I really wanted to go to Gdansk too but it was too awkward travelling wise to go to all 3 cities. I got a taxi to the airport around lunchtime and it took me ages to get through passport control again, you have to get registered by the hostel/hotel you are...

So, while I was in Minsk for a full week, I ended up really poorly so there isnt much to blog about really! On Sunday I had a wander around but it was too cold to stay out too long. Its not a very pretty city as in it doesnt have an old town or nice archetecture but it does have a certain charm about it. It is so different to what I have been used to though, hardly anyone speaks english, even in bars and restaurants (or at least, they dont want to speak it!!) so...

I must be getting used to hostel life! It was even colder today, by 10am it was minus 12 already! Its hard to comprehend how cold it feels! But my thick coat, hat, thermal tights, socks and gloves definitely help! I may not look the best but at least I stay warm!! I decided to visi...

I have been so crap at blogging!! so this is a bit of a long overdue catch up! It won't be in as much detail as normal until I manage to catch up! After chatting with my aussie mate till late, I had a nice lay in this morning. He was checking out that day and had a mammoth journey back to Australia but the hostel lady said that no one was due to check in, so he could take his time and not rush which I thought was really nice of them.
