Day 1 of lessons. We have now learned more in our 3 x 45 minutes lessons than we thought possible. Amazing the confidence we now have. In addition we are enjoying the tram rides all over the place. Trams are very cheap and plentiful andw e leave the apartment at about 08.45, walk to the tram stop, catch No 3 to one street then any tram to Bronowicka. total travel time is about 20 minutes and total cost is PLZ 3, 60 = AUD 1,70 (?).. Very cheap. That's for an hour ticket. The normal ticket (bilety normaly) is 2,50 - that's a one ride ticket.

We can eat dinner here for about PLZ 35. That was 2 large and 1 small beer, 1 tea, 2 soups and 1 x bigos and 1 x globoke. No diacritics so some of this may look weird. Not at all bad.

Tomorrow we have class then plan to be tourists. This weekend we may go to Cestochowa to see the Black Madonna and the famous monastery there. Being winter there are nor quite so many pilgrims around.

Thanks Kylie for the comments - when we stop for breath we WILL have a wodka for you! And hopefully I'll work out how to post pictures too!!!

I see it's 06.09 at home and as it's 21.09 here i can proudly say I have done ALL my homework - 2 full pages of a workbook plus a speaking preparaiotn for our second teache tomorrow - no! we haven't scared the first away but they are team teaching us. So today was Anyta and tomorrow is Ewa. And I am now Krysia!!

General: the weather is mild and we are enjoying that. It's been about 13C today tho' tomorrow is forecast light rain and 9C. Not a hint of snow. So that's it for today. As ever any comments are gratefully received.
