So this is my very first time going on a holiday out of the country without my family! It is also my first holiday with my boyfriend and his family omg. I am so touched that they took me with them :') SO SWEET!
Ignorant as it may seem, from someone who did quite well in her O level History, I totally forgot what Historical relevance Poland had......
So Ethan & I watched Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List prior to going on this holiday and that's when I remembered that some people in my History class in Whitley Sec back in Singapore went on a History school trip to Poland and they went to the exact places where we went to I can't believe that was totally wiped out of my memory!
Unfortunately, only the ones who scored like above 90% could go for that school trip, it cost like SG$2000(maybe a little lesser) per student :O! I'm so glad that I didn't go because it didn't cost that much for me to go to Poland, especially because its within Europe so its cheap.

My flight cost £60(SG$120) including taxes & return flight ;P
Eating & shopping in Poland is also CHEAP. I loved it there especially our hotel room!I would sooo go back there again!
DAY #1
This is Ethan's special holiday sandwich which is stuffed with eggs, 2 different types of sausages, smokey bacon, brown sauce & ketchup!VERY UNHEALTHY so that's why he only makes when he goes on holiday
Our drinks, Haribo gummies & cookie crumble Galaxy chocolate!Yumyum!
We flew by Ryanair so the baggage allowance was only a hand luggage so I had to literally plan out exactly what I was going to wear each day because of that.
Not to mention the huge misunderstanding of the limit on liquids you can take on air. Ethan gave me the impression that the total amount of liquid you can take is 100ml, turns out you can bring up to a litre of liquids but they have to be in separate amounts of 100ml. I had to choose between my toothpaste and deodorant (I left my deodorant and used Ethan's instead :p)
Preparing for take off ;p
First flight without my family, I'm such a grown up!
Haribo gummy rings <3
an awesome alternative for wedding rings.

The flight was only 2 hours, but with my asthma, my body is rather sensitive to the air in planes :/ so I started to have a bad sniffle which turned into a cold! FML, I was finally on a holiday(apart from trips to Singapore) and my asthma decides to kick in!
I can be quite obsessive with health, so I popped Echinacea tablets for weeks on end prior to the holiday as I was paranoid that I would fall ill. Clearly, it had no use.
I am quite proud of myself because I actually did not let my bad cold get to me, I forced myself to be positive because I was on holiday and there was no way I was going to be a baby and rest in the hotel all day. I forgot I even had a cold most of the time which was great.
Our room at Hotel Royal was AWESOME!
Ethan's mum had no idea at all as to what to expect with the hotel room as she booked it without knowing what the rooms looked like and kept telling us to expect the least but.... the moment we walked in, all of us were like WOW THIS IS HUGE!It was very Victorian themed with tall doors, long curtains, 2 double beds, high ceilings and a massive amount of space.
After running into each other's room to see if everyone had the same awesome room, we headed to a well-know Jazz bar called Jazz Club, just round the corner of the hotel.
It was really dark inside the bar but it was like going into a cave, it was so quaint and hidden that I loved it!It was nice just chilling out and listening to the Jazz band play on our first night.
I decided I needed some cold tablets so I went to what seemes like a Pharmacy, unfortunately the lady did not know English and I ended up purchasing some laxatives with Polish instructions(I only found out they were laxatives when I got back to England and googled it) but just as I walked out, I spotted Panadols and got them instead to stick the safer side. So glad I did that as my cold along with the aftermath of two laxatives would not have been a pretty scene for Ethan.
I'll update day 2 very soon!We spent the day at the very pretty city area :)
Poland is just so amazing, ignorant as it may seem, I did not expect it to be anything like it was. I did have the assumption that it would be a backward country but Krakow is definitely as modern as Central London, I dare say.
