Poznan: Lakes, Skates and We Got Baked.

We arrived in Poznan and had a good old wander around the old town square. I was happy to get some real meat at last after surviving on bread and cheese for the past week, we did it in style at the Viking themed restaurant in the square but it was an exceedingly upmarket Viking restaurant, there were no savage looking bearded men or racks of meat, we all agreed that any Viking in their right mind would not eat in an establishment such as that. Anyways the next day we headed to the lake across the river, it was a beautifully sunny day and so we all had a good old walk around and got loads if photos of the things the people of Poznan liked to do on a sunny day. In true style Vicky and Beth hired skates and went for a cruise around, I must admit I was very impressed with the skills those girls were pulling.



Afterwards we had a good old Frankfurter and sat and watched the sun set or as Beth chose to do, go down the slide and get rather filthy, I don't know, what can you do with that girl? But it was a beautiful evening and really nice to have a bit of a relax for a change we had all been working a bit too hard. But it was a good day and we finished it of with a few local beers in a bar for the mere sum of about 51p a pint, sorry 0.5l.

What No "SPAM" Can't have been a proper Viking restaurant.

Pictures are wonderful. I love the reflected clouds in water next to Beth. The sunset is also brilliant.

Lots of wonderful pictures for the family albums of you globetrotters. Hope you are getting as many of Polish culture. Must admit the art exhibition was reminiscent of a Nurenberg Rally of the 1930's with all those flags. Very uplifting and patriotic (and brainwashing-look how great we are!)
