On this trip I will visit some cultural cities in centraleurope. The trip takes me to Sczcecin, Warsaw, Krakow, Prague and Dresden
But as usual the trip starts in my hometown of Vejle and a train to Copenhagen.
In Copehagen I board the Pol-Ferries's vessel of Pomerania for Świnoujście. I like sailing on ships like this. Plenty of bars and restaurants. In the "duty-free" you can buy this weeks offer - 12 bottles of vodka. There's a movie in the cafeteria, but Robin Williams and Robert deNiro speaks polish, so thats kind of useless. Instead I play the slot-machines on board before going to bed.

I have been sleeping in a chair for the purpose, in a quiet part of the ship. Pretty comfortable, but not the best kind of sleep you can get.
The ferry arrives at Świnoujście at 7.30 am. From there I take a minibus to Szczecin. I arrive in Szczecin at 10 am.
I check-in at the nice Hotel Rycerski. A big room and all necessities are available.
Actually there is no special need for me to visit Szczecin. But it would make a hush to go straight for Warsaw, so I have decided to spend a day here.
So I better check out the 1½ sight Szczecin has to offer. First the half one. Thats the Cathedral of Szczecin. There's a lot of people at the church. It's Good Friday today, so a lot of people are passing by in this very religious country.
Then on to the main attraction in Szczecin. The Dukes castle. It's located on a little hill. The castle is from the times when Pommern was a soveraign duchy. It was so for more than 500 years until Bogoslaw XIV died childless during the 30-years war in 1637. Then it was split into two. One part for Sweden and one part for Brandenburg.
