S24EP38 | POLAND Did we leave it too late? KRAKÓW is our last stop in POLAND...

We sample some final Polish food in beautiful Kraków before we start making our way south.
The next few days turned out to be some of the most exhausting and cold days in all the time we've been on the road.

Thanks for bringing us all a taste of Poland.

[@WeWillNomad]

Our pleasure! ❤️

[@furiosan]

I'm living in Kraków for over 16 years now. I got used to heritage I can meet on every corner. What impressed me the most was and still is Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory ( Museum ) - It helped me to understand a lot about Kraków and it's history. Sorry for sayin that - you should regret not visiting it!

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks for the comment! We definitely visit some museums when we can. We don't always film everything as sometimes it's a bit tricky.

[@melaniehewetson428]

Yes being cold in the van isn’t great is it ! Late September in the Scottish highlands sent us scurrying to northern Spain within a few weeks several years ago. I’m a non parsnip person usually but roasted them with touch olive oil, crushed garlic and sprinkle sugar and salt as directed by my mum - and then I rather liked them :). Happy warmth very soon !

[@WeWillNomad]

We're a lot more used to four very distinct seasons - coming from South Africa. In Europe the switch from Summer to Winter feels to us like there's almost no transition! We'll have to try your mum's parsnip recipe next time!

[@melaniehewetson428]

@@WeWillNomad our seasons in the middle of Britain are more blurred and ‘early’ the last twenty years esp ( and def more wet ! ) but, thankfully we still have a few crisp autumn blue sky days :). Yes mum unfortunately passed away last summer but, her cakes and general yummy cooking were a big part of her 😊

[@AbsSolut]

This Dane was in Krakow last year... a whole week with museums and local food,, rly nice town

[@WeWillNomad]

Nice! A great way to spend a week!

[@AbsSolut]

@@WeWillNomad was fun to watch the spot again. And thx to u visiting my hometown Fredericia DK,, keep up with the chill videos

[@BatteryMan-c6v]

Another great video guys! Good luck in finding nicer places to stop! They can't all be spectacular and on the whole you do very well!

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks! Yup, it's a just part of the experience!

[@creekyknee]

Great patience and perseverance guys. Hope that you encounter warmer weather and better park-ups soon.

[@WeWillNomad]

Oh yes, we found some warm weather alight! 😋 Cheers Ronan!

[@StefanHPetkov]

You are an inspiration guys! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We are not really into van life as such but definitely working towards early retirement and slow travel across Europe. Having watched your videos feels like I've already been to most places :) Greetings from Bulgaria!

[@WeWillNomad]

Awesome! Thank you! Believe it or not, we still haven't been to Bulgaria! 😐 Van life is not 'forever' for us but it's a great way to see a LOT of Europe in a different way. Funny actually as we're not really into van life either 😁 It was supposed to be for one year only post pandemic. We're close to reaching a point where we're thinking of breaking up our Europe van travels with a few other adventures. All the best to you guys! ❤️

[@cliveshakespeare9184]

Aaaaagh! Cold! Joburg in August! Super video, I know that area, I spent a good few days in that camping in Krakow and at Komarno in Hungary, it still looks great. I look forward to the next video!

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks! It's a pity we moved so fast after Krakow but in those temperatures, we really struggle! You can tell we're from Cape Town 😋

Culture 10/10. Food 9/10. Lisa's park up planner. Errrr. Another glass of wine please.😜 It was just one of those days Lisa. You never know what's there until you arrive. Safe travels south.

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks Andy! Yup, it was just one of those WEEKS though! 😜 But that's all part of the adventure and we've found some great spots now again. 😊

[@krzysztoftyszkowski8770]

Kraków 🇵🇱💪

[@antonioalfredofreitas7754]

Obrigado pelo vídeo, muito inspirador! Com dizem por aí: "Melhor um dia ruim de viagem que um dia bom de trabalho"🤣🤣🤣

[@WeWillNomad]

Muito verdade. Quando temos dias ‘ruins’ muitas vezes nos lembramos disso!

[@Kermit-Si]

Hi guys, enjoyed seeing Krakow, never been. I did enjoy Bratislava city when I was in Slovakia, stayed on a campsite by a big lake, just cross the road and a twenty minute tram ride. Looking forward to where you go. Take care 👍🐸

[@WeWillNomad]

We also really liked Bratislava when we were there last year! The only downside was that we found ourselves in the middle of an impromptu drifting course at 10 pm 😁

[@alanbenham4139]

[@angelac582]

Given (by chance) we started watching the video about 25mins after it was posted, we expected to be the first people to see it lol but over 200 people had beaten us to it. However we are the first people to comment (hooray!). Greetings from Aix-en- Provence. Its 26 degrees tomorrow. The downside are the mosquitos.......but will be moving north soon and on our way home........😞 safe travels P&A

[@WeWillNomad]

Hello guys! 😋 Glad to hear you have also found some warmer weather! Last week we joked that it might be TOO hot where we're going.. 😁 So far no complaints! Enjoy your last leg! ❤️

[@petermuller1870]

Hi Lisa and Andre I have been watching and enjoying your travels for some time, only today I saw on Facebook your maiden name is Alberti, I grew up in Green Pont Cape Town and my next door neibours for over 20 years were the Messina family, I kept in close contact with all of them after we moved out of Green Point, especiall Rino, we moved up to Langebaan 8 years ago and see Rino often, we actually visisted them this morning, and last year we braaied there and your Dad Renato was there who I also know well as I went out with his sister your aunt Rita many years ago. any way keep up the good channel and safe travels Peter Muller

[@WeWillNomad]

😲 Wow, now that's quite the coincidence Peter! Funnily enough, Langebaan is also our favourite place in SA and we would happily return there for a couple of months of summer if it were easier and cheaper! 😜 What a small world, we'll have to meet in person next time we're in Langebaan! Thanks for saying hi! 😊

[@SharonToogood]

Hi both, Brrrrrrr that does sound chilly, I totally get what you mean about travel being tiring, it definitely can be. Poland got a big thumbs looked really interesting. I imagine heading for some sun and warmth to be part of your up coming decision. have a good week, safe travels x

[@WeWillNomad]

Poland has a lot of charm and we're hoping to see a bit more of the north next year. But for now... we need sun! 😁

[@RolandNielsen-c4h]

Nice movie again. The wether is somethames litel cool. 😊😊

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks! 😎

[@beograd07]

Great video as always and I am glad I saw Krakow in autumn. Summer in Krakow has a completely different vibe and feel but more crowded and if you get there during the heatwave it is just as difficult to move around the city. Thankfully Poland has a great cold beer. I guess mild spring or mild autumn is actually perfect time to visit these areas of EU but the weather all around the world changed in last few years you cannot count on seasons any more. While you were suffering for us viewers (most appreciated) we fully enjoyed watching your great videos. You got me impressed how did you managed to do this shots at 11:36? Unless you had a friend holding the camera behind you guys. Andre, did you have that stick on your shoulder? Anyways, great video and also great choice of background music through the whole vlog. So appropriate. You are probably in Zagreb by now (while I am typing this) and if you have not decided which way to go further I would recommend to try Adriatic coast all the way. climate is much more mild and you may score some warmer sunny days too. Croatian coast is amazing even when out of season, especially Makarska riviera. If not, whichever way you decide it is going to be interesting so good luck with future parking spots and the rest of the trip.

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks for that! You know, (as you comment) we also feel like the switch from Summer to Winter is almost without any transition. We're a lot more used to four very distinct seasons - coming from South Africa. The good news is that right now we're a little further south (actually a LOT) and we are enjoying some really nice weather. The shots with the invisible friend 😁 is done using a 'selfie drone' - we're experimenting with the new DJI Neo - which can be hand launched without a controller and preset to specific movements or just to follow or track a subject. It's a lot of fun to use but a little bit noisy.

[@conkinnear7269]

Things can only get better, we'd be rushing towards the warm weather as well. Wet, wet, wet in the UK.

[@WeWillNomad]

Constant rain in the van is a real downer. We get cabin fever in no time 😐

[@yvesvanhole2148]

Good Luck in finding suitable places to overnight ! Greetings from Belgium, Yves & Vanessa

Thank you both! 😃

[@andrewmcvey5680]

You folks really don't like the cold do you 😆 Hope it warms up on your travels, "stay safe you kids" 😉

[@WeWillNomad]

😁 We definitely do NOT like cold! That said, after spending so long in 'milder' temperatures we're also getting more sensitive to warmer weather. 🤣

[@LiamNaden]

Italy?

[@WeWillNomad]

😁 We'll be in Salento come mid November. Just a little detour.

[@jimmykure7126]

We have a similar cake in Denmark “napoleonskage”

[@maciekszymanski8340]

We've got "napoleonka". It's probably the same stuff but lil bit different than "papal's kremowka". I personally hate both :)

[@yakeosicki8965]

@@maciekszymanski8340 I hate this cookie too. 😂😂🤣

[@WeWillNomad]

You mean there's a cake in Denmark we have not tried yet? 😁 It's on the list for next year!

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Tom Lehrer made a song: "Poisoning pidgeons in the Park", but that isn't relevant I suppose? We like our pidgeons but only feet them secretly in our small garden, not to attrackt rats (I hope they don't see this!)! Those we don't like but sometimes sees and - catches some. I visited Stettin during my working years and also the preserved "Panorama Racklawicka", which had got a fine new Exhibition building then! And as a Dane I can't recommend trying Polish Copies of "Danish" 😁! Finn. Denmark

[@WeWillNomad]

Polish Copies of "Danish" 🤣 That's good. Cheers Finn!

[@JakWilk]

Kraków or Wrocław? 🤔

[@WeWillNomad]

If we HAVE to choose... Wroclaw.

Dlaczego nie daliście polskiego jezyka? Jest wegierski arabski niderlandzki na androida. Poprzednie wasze filmy chyba miały automatycznego tłumacza po polsku...?

Sorry! Fixed it now.

This highest point is the "Piłsudski Mound", also known as the "Independence Mound", built to commemorate Józef Piłsudski, the creator of the Polish Legions and the Chief of the Polish State in the interwar period.

[@WeWillNomad]

Thanks for that! 👍
