Cornwall!

Cornwall is a truly magnificent part of England - full of the nicest and friendliest people. The water is so clear and such amazing shades of blue that it is easy to forget that you are in England at all. It is a place that you can do nothing but relax and enjoy the great outdoors, the good food and drinks.

Warsaw!

or a town that was largely destroyed during WWII, there is a strong spirit of hope and resilience. It is a town that was deliberately annihilated by the Nazi's as a repression of the Polish resistance. After the war, the Old Town was meticulously rebuilt to create an exact replica of what stood before. It was a beautiful place full of colourful houses, lively squares with hidden streets to explore.

Highlights of the trip include:

*Walking Tour - we participated in the both the Old Town and Jewish Walking Tours. These tours were incredibly informative and interesting

* Uprising Musuem - this musuem provides a first hand account of the thousands of Poles who fought back against the Nazi forces in 1944 for a heroic 63 days of resistance.

* Lazienki Park - a peaceful park in the middle of the city, stroll through the park enjoying the peacocks, feeding the red squirrels and admiring the magnificent Palace on the Water.
