ZILUKS IN POLAND
Dear Diary,
Last week I was in Poland. It is an amazing country with lots of magnificent
landscapes. I would like to share my memories with you.
Poland is a country in Central Europe bordered by Germany to the west,
the Czech Republic andSlovakia to the south, Ukraine and Belarus to the east,
and the Baltic Sea, Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave) andLithuania to the
north. The total area of Poland is 312,679 square kilometres.
POZNAŃ
On Monday I visited Poznań and went to the Wielkopolski National Park.
I saw endangered kinds of flowers and animals like: deer, foxes and badgers.
Then I went to Jan HenrykDąbrowski’s Park.
The Old Brewery is near this park, so I went there. It’s a shopping centre and
an art gallery.
Next step of my trip was ,,Nierozpoznani’’ sculptures.
At 12 o’clock I went to the Old Town and I saw goats which were hitting each
other’s heads.
In the evening I went to INEA Stadium to see Lech Poznań match.
I bought souvenirs – small goats.
I had a great time in Poznań.
TORUŃ
On Tuesday I went to Toruń.
Toruń is one of the biggest cities in Poland. I saw a statue of Nicolaus
Copernicus there. Some people were admiring it. They told me that he was a
famous astronomer. He discovered that not the Earth but the sun is the
centre of our solar system.
After that, I went to the local bakery. The shopkeeper offered me their most
famous cookies – gingerbread. They were really delicious. Gingerbread is the
mostrecognizable thing in Toruń.
Another interesting thing in Toruń are the medieval defence walls. They
weren’t damaged by the World War II like most of the monuments in Poland.
They are huge and impressive.
Before heading back home I bought souvenirs – delicious gingerbread cookies.

interesting and modern city.

restaurant ,,POLKA”. Magda Gessler is a famous cook in Poland. I ate
traditional meal of this country. It was a porkchop with potatoes and a salad.
Next I travelled to Copernicus Science Centre – it is a science museum which
is on the bank of the Vistula River. That place is fantastic.

castle.
Near this castle there is Nicolaus Copernicus house so I decided to go there I
saw his workplace and his works.
After that I went to the Old Town. I ate dinner in one of the oldest
restaurants in Olsztyn. The food was really good. Then I sat on the bench near
a popular fountain.

cathedral made a huge impression on me.
Around Olsztyn there are a lot of lakes. I saw a couple of them. When I was on

castle.
