TGIF!!!

Yahoo! It's the weekend. Another day which began with a visit to the railway station to buy tickets for our trip tomorrow. First pick your queue. Then make sure you have written down the instructions you need as you WILL suffer from brain jellification. However, once you have the tickets check them...and don't faint when it looks as if you are about to pay the equivalent of a small country's GDP for the pleasure. It isn't so.

Next to school where we were terrorised by the Instrumental case!! Why can't we just have the Nominative for everything???? Mind you, yesterday's vocab has stuck in the old cells so we aren't doing too badly. The woman in the cafe even said "Dwa kawa" (2 coffees) as we walked in the door too! Overall the morning flew past again.

We went straight into town today for obiad in a little local cafe. We avoid tourist spots as much as possible. The Rynek - square - is lovely but full of tourists so we use it as a cut through like the locals and try to ignore the Poms because we don't want to speak English. (We speak basic Polish to each other on the tram etc).

We found a little museum of art today and even looked at a Da Vinci! Impressed? Some very nice pics etc as well as Roman and Egyptian artifacts. Strange mix. Then back on the tram to our little area and to market to buy kielbasa and ser (sausage and cheese). And this was where I made a bit of an error. I really wanted some ham but mispronounced it and got another sausage - this tme a REALLY strong one!! OK so now we are really well off for sausage! But I redeemed myself by managing to ask about the price of a pair of 'house shoes' for Dave. And got the price right too.

A couple of times people have looked at me strangely and then spoken to me in Polish. I am wondering if they think I am a Pole married to an English speaker. I hate to disillusion them but one of these days I'm going to be found out!

Weather report: much colder this morning but sunny. This evening it is very clear so maybe it will start to get cold enough for snow. An early start tomorrow for our trip - the 07.45 train. No blogging till Sunday and maybe some pics then and a tourist report!

meantime--- miledgo weekendu! Have a good weekend!
