Welcome to ... Scotland! #2 and Merry Christmas!


Well, scottish trip was just crazy :) 
Today I want to present other beautiful places that we were able to visit :) 

*Museum of Scoltand*

Formed in 2006, with free entrance, definitely one of my favourite museums! It contains history of Scotland, but also a lot of important artefacts. I enjoyed a lot a part with cultures of the world (engaging!).


*Calton Hill*

Another hill in Edinburg, much more turistic than Arthur's Peak and not so impressive. However, it has one big advantage, it is situated just in the center of Edinburgh, so it took as 10 minutes to climb it :) It is location of the observatory and some other monuments. 


*Christmas Market*


Full of joy, laughts and hot chocolate. I've never seen so crowded Christmas market. We've had a really wonderful time and we dare to a big and veeeeeeeeeeery high carousel, views were awsome, but fear was a big stronger so I really wanted it to finish. Now, when I think about Christmas Market in Berlin and what has happened there I'm very sad and I can't belive someone could really do such a cruelty, specially in the Christmas period. 



In this special day, I want to wish you Christmas full of pace in the world and your families. As a Christmas bonus I leave a poem of Mother Teresa...:



And 'Christmas every time
you smile at a brother
and hold out your hand.
And 'Christmas every time
who remain silent
to listen to the other.
And 'Christmas every time
You do not accept those principles
that relegate the oppressed
the margins of society.
And 'Christmas every time
hope to those who despair
in the physical and spiritual poverty.
And 'Christmas every time
you recognize humbly
your limits and your weakness.
And 'Christmas every time
that allow the Lord
reborn to give it to others.

Antonio Gaudi. Architectural genius.

A.Gaudi The best thing in Barcelona is definitely ... architecture. I really love nature, beautiful views, culture of Spain. Generally speaking, I have never EVER seen a place with so many marvelous buildings. I think it's all because of modernisme and one of the most illustious architects of Barcelona is Antonio Gaudi. Gaudí devoted his life entirely to his profession, so as a consequence we can now admire his buildings which are artworks.  Sagrada Família Apparently, the first artwork we wanted to see was Sagrada Familia. Despite the fact that Sagrada is incomplete it's UNESCO World Heritage. Well, I am not surprised why. the basilica is just awsome. You look at it's facade and you go into raptures. We decided not to enter inside because of a huge queue.(Next time maybe we will enter :)) Park Guell The next stop was also worth seeing. We decided to go there by foot so it took us a lot of time, but I really appreciate strolling throught new citi

Eh

Hi everybody!  How's life?  I am just sitting with my sis in the train going back to Poznań. I was in Warsaw, cause I had to prepare my presentation about my mission in Zambia. I spent there more than 2 mounths so now it was time to share my experience with others who are preparing themselves to go for a mission.  Well, recently it's the worst time of my life. I really don't want to share with you any detail cause it doesn't matter. There are a lot of factors that influence my state of mind, my thoughts, my behaviour. I even don't have neither power nor idea about what I should write here with you. In my primary school we used to say "Life is brutal and full of zasadzkas" and we used to laugh a lot about this sentace. Now I really don't feel like laughing at all. But still life is life and you have to live it even when it's tough. In spite of my negative post I hope it will get better.  Have a nice Sunday.  D.

Let's escape!

Last weekend my friend Artur had birthday so we decided to have fun in escape room! Do you know what is that? Well, in Poznań escape rooms are becoming more and more popular. Nowadays there are 57 escape rooms only in my city! It's so marvelous that everytime I go there I'am very excited. So what is it? Escape room is a logical game, where you have to use your shrewdness, maths skills and be very observant. You are locked in a small room and you have only one hour to escape. You have to find hidden clues, objects, resolve some riddles. Every room has its own story: you can be locked in prison, in psychiatric hospital, in Hogwarts or in the spooky house and you have to do your best to set yourself free. So on Saturday we went to ... the house of vampire. I was so so anxious and panicked because I prefer escape rooms which are not so eerie! Even though the female part of the team was schreeching a lot (I was the first one to scream) I found this game very funny and entertaining!
