TRAVEL TO POLAND 2012

Travel to Poland 2012 by Jesus

In summer 2012 three friends, called Nacho, Miguel and Javi and I travelled to Poland to watch our Spanish selection to play football.

Our travel started in Zaragoza, we went from Zaragoza to Barcelona in my car, from there we flew to Warsaw. In Warsaw, Piot was waiting for us. Piot is Polish and he is Javi's friend, they studied together.

The currency used in Poland  is the zloty.

During our first day we visited: 

. The National Stadium   

. The Palace of Culture and Science

. The old city:  it was destroyed in World War II

. Praga´s neighbourhood:  in spite of the World War II many buildings has been preserved in good conditions,  there you can observe the bullet marks and holes.

. The Warsaw Ghetto: only a wall is preserved.

In the ghetto, we lived a great story, we met an old man, he fought in the World War II and in the Russian invasion.  He had three books with photos and signatures of people who had listened his story.  We signed in his book and when we arrived at Zaragoza, we sent him our photos.

At night we were at the fan zone, the night was fantastic.

At night, I observed that in Poland dawned at 4.30 but there weren't blinds in the Polish houses and daylight entered everywhere in the rooms.

The next day, we flied to Gdansk, there we spent three days.

On the first day,  we were to a rented flat, probably it was the worst place where I have ever slept, but it wasn´t important , we only wanted some fun. In the afternoon, we  visited Gdanks and its pubs, in Gdanks there were a lot of Spanish people, they were everywhere.   Polish people welcome  to Spanish in a very good way.

On the second day, we went to Sopot, in Sopot we had a good party.

On the third day it was the football mach: Spain vs Italy. We got up and got dressed with the Spanish football team T-shirts. We went to the center of Gdanks, the street was crowded of Spanish people.  We went from Gdanks center  to the Stadium  by an old train, at the end we saw the Stadium, the Stadium was relly beautiful.

 

 


The score was Spain 1 vs Italy 1.

On the next day , our travel finished, we bought the Polish press before going back to Zaragoza, the Polish press media thanked the Spanish fans for the great created atmosphere.

Our travel was fantastic, we will always remember Poland.
