We went to the WOA Count­down Party at the Ball­room, Ham­burg on Mon­day night and as you can see from the photo above, friends were made and beer was drunk (who was drunk? Cer­tainly not I, nooooo…).

Today we’re catch­ing the train down to Wacken and will pitch our tent in the mud (it’s rain­ing, of course). It’s on!

So what are we going to do in Poland?

Deci­bel magazine’s blog has some timely death metal tourism advice for us in Adam (Hate) Lists Top 5 Things To Do In Poland.

  1. While we won’t be actu­ally doing sug­ges­tion Num­ber 1 – Play Pol­ish death metal – we’ll cer­tainly be try­ing to find some local stuff to check out in the numer­ous bars of Krakow.
  2. Num­ber 2 is Fight Chris­tian­ity – well, that’s all in a day’s work, right?
  3. Next up is Climb Tatra Moun­tains – that one is on our todo list also.
  4. Spend time by the Baltic Sea eat­ing pierogi and kil­basa – we’ll be doing a vari­a­tion of this one, but just in Krakow. I for one intend to con­sume pierogi pretty much for break­fast, lunch and din­ner, although Dave can keep the kil­basa (sausage) all for himself.
  5. As for num­ber 5, Visit Białowieża – that will be a lit­tle dif­fi­cult in our lim­ited time. This for­est, home of the rare Pol­ish bison “zubr”, is quite some way away from where we’ll be. But Dave recently fin­ished off some Pol­ish bison vodka – com­plete with prairie grass stalk in the bot­tle – and we’re both pretty amazed by the Zubr web site (super-cute!) so that will have to be close enough.
