Having enjoyed a trip to southern Poland in late 2015 the Cheeky Boys (myself, Spencer, Roy, Gavin and Kev) had some zloty left in our pocket so it was decided that a second trip be had. Poland is a great country to visit on a number of levels; 1) it is great value for food, hotels, transport 2) plenty of great food and drink options (a good reason to visit anywhere in my book!) 3) stunning architecture 4) friendly people Part 1 of the trip took us to the cit...

The good thing about picking up a cheap flight is that sometimes you end up somewhere very pleasant. Rzeszow, I think, was pretty much one of those places. This small city is not really on the tourist trail and after Krakow it was night to be away from the maddening crowds. Our journey from Krakow to Rzeszow, a distance of just over one hundred miles, look nearly four hours by train. There were a number of long stops en-route as a result of the complete route mod...

The Cheeky Boys trip for late 2015 saw us visiting Poland with a Ryanair flight from East Midlands Airport to Krakow. Well Krakow was where we expected to land but because of heavy fog we were diverted to Lodz – a three and a half hour journey by coach from our intended destination. Needless to say an arrival at 0100 was not that conducive to a raucous night out on the town! The morning brought just light mist so we could start to explore the town after a ...

This is our fourth visit to Gdansk and each time the old town area simply blows us away. It is possibly sort of 'Disney-esque' in style like something at EPCOT but this is all as genuine as a post war re-construction can get. It is simply stunning and well worth a visit if you are looking for a good value break. We arrived at Gdansk Glowny (the main) railway station and once out of the maze of underground corridors it was around a fifteen minute walk to the centr...

I think it is about fifteen years since my first visit to Wolsztyn in Poland with friends and looking back some things have certainly changed and others are reassuringly familiar. On my first visit I picked up the dinner tab at the Europa Restaurant in town for three of us as it came to less than a round of drinks at home. The restaurant is still trading today, serving great food but even today the three course dinner for two with a bottle of wine came to just 13...
