Sean's place - Gliwice-Sosnowiec, Poland

Sean's place was a welcome pit stop. We decided to take a train from Krakow to Gliwice - it wasn't expensive, and hitching in Poland had proved difficult (police are strict about trucks taking more than 1 passenger). Sean met us at the station for the short walk to his flat. We spent two days in his one-room flat, doing little but soaking up internet time. It was wonderful! We managed a half hour walk around the highlights of Gliwice - which is pretty, but quiet, it seems - and went to a few of Sean's favourite eateries. One was a creperie with delicious savoury crepes. Another was a cafeteria type place, where we had an incredibly cheap take-away meal of 'pigeons', giant polish ravioli and traditional tricolor salad (red and white cabbage and carrot). I should probably mention that pigeons are cabbage leaves stuffed with rice and meat, and are very tasty!
