Poznan, Poland

Saturday and Sunday, 9 & 10 September 2006

We stayed for the weekend with friends, Andreas and Roza. A & R's apartment is being renovated (we are told that it is difficult to get good builders in Poland at the moment as they have all moved to Ireland!) so we stay at Roza's mother's place, where we meet the dachshund double-act that is Truffaldino and Balbinka. T, despite being in his 12th dog-year, has the libido of the viagra test-rabbit. We are treated to numerous public shows of his doggy affection for B, who seems unmoved by it all. We are keeping things clean so none of the photos can be shown here.

A & R gave us a great sight-seeing tour of the city. Dara had visited Poznan as a student but, due to old age and/or Polish vodka, can't remember much. We visit numerous churches, each hosting a wedding ceremony - according to Roza, in Poland there is a wedding every hour, on the hour, on Saturdays!
