What About Poland: A Winter Visit to the Best Christmas Markets in Europe - November 2024

Our brave adventurer and his lovely bride are off again. They are headed to Poland to visit a few Christmas Markets in Warsaw and Krakow. They also want to take in some Polish culture and eat some pirogies.  They have some Polish friends in Canada and are curious to visit the Polish homeland. To this point in time, Gym's visits to Warsaw have been a couple of lengthy stopovers at Chopin International Airport. This trip will see our dynamic duo spend 11 days touring Poland by train.

And when you are traveling by train it is always good to bring along friends that are train experts. So, Brenda and Roland from Suffolk, England will be joining Gym and Mrs. Gym to help them negotiate the railroads. 

Tomorrow, November 26, 2024,  the journey will begin in a big KLM jet that will fly to Amsterdam where our intrepid travelers will change planes and make their way to Warsaw. They will arrive on the 27th at Chopin International. They have a reservation  for five nights at the Bristol hotel in the heart of the capital. Stay tuned!

P.S After a brutal blast of winter over the past few days in Calgary, our hero would rather be going to the Maldives. However, the weather in Poland is somewhat milder than it is in Calgary according to the Internet. Be assured though that Mrs. Gym is packing the winter wear.
