I often heard from people who never been to Poland that Poland is a very cold country (=with long, extremely cold winter). They would never said it about Germany, but Polish climate is like the climate of about half of Germany.
Winters in Poland can be very cold, but they can be also quite mild.
Anyway, winter lasts only 3 months; there is still spring, autumn and hot summer.
The flag of the Republic of Poland consists of two horizontal stripes, the upper one white and the lower one red (a white, crowned eagle is sometimes added, but it’s our coat of arms).
There two other countries that have very similar flag, just up side down ;), it’s Indonesia and Monaco.
Geographically, Poland is located in the centre of Europe;
however, it’s usually described as eastern European country.
Poland is bordered by Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania and Russian Kaliningrad Oblast.
And by the Baltic Sea to the north.
Welcome to Poland. 🙂
This month, I’m going to show you pictures of my country.
First, I’m sorry for the quality, but many of them were taken many, many years ago.
Second, I’m not sure how real the image of Poland is going to be… I don’t live in Poland since years, so may be more sentimental than realistic…
Well, we’ll see. 🙂
Today, I’m showing you the last picture from Bonaire.
This small Dutch Caribbean island is a lovely destination;
consider visiting it once you’re nearby!
And tomorrow, we’re going to the unexpected place. 😉
Stay tuned!
Bonaire is a small island, only 38,6 km long and 4,8 – 8 km wide,
but it offers lots of attractions. 🙂
I love to observe how color of the water changes depending on sunshine.
Simple things make you happy. 🙂
Sailing is also one of the optional activities in Bonaire.
Counts stairs in Bonaire. 😉
Is it really 1000?
Search for a lighthouse in Bonaire. 🙂
Some beaches are not covered in sand, but are full of corals.
Enjoy the beach, sand, and all sunny days in Bonaire. 🙂
Caves nearby coast – also in Bonaire. 🙂
You’ll also find some nice hills in Bonaire;
almost as high as the highest point in the Netherlands. 😉
Swim, dive, snorkel – just enjoy water in Bonaire. 🙂
Bonaire is also a nice place for relaxing and doing nothing; just enjoying the nature. 🙂
I like when you can see fish (especially colorful ones) so clearly even without touching water. 😉
p.s. This fish is not dead, it was just turning.
I met many cute birds in Bonaire, many of them probably “quite typical and nothing special”, but still cute oens. 🙂
There are many reasons to visit Bonaire, i.e., sunny days, nice weather, water, flamingos, friendly locals, and what I like the most – it’s a small island, not so crowded that makes your holidays very relaxing. 🙂
