SUWALKI (Poland)
20 August - 21 August 2017
20 August - 21 August 2017
Somehow we found ourselves transiting through Suwalki again, this time heading south to Belgrade. If felt as though we were migrating early for the Winter.
Considering this was our second stay in the town, and unexpectedly so once again, I'll add a couple of quick facts as to what it's about.
A north eastern Polish town with a population just shy of 70,000, it's the first major town of notes as your cross over from the Lithuanian border. We've founds ourselves now, twice, bedding down for the night after a light run from Riga which would usually take 5-6 hrs depending on how many times we stopped on the way.
I would like to make a small mention to the Fresco Hostel in Suwalki. It doesn't come across as a hostel at all, even though it appears in the name, I'd term it as more of an Inn. A warm, welcoming, very clean style of accommodation that has no resemblance to its poor cousin, the hostel, in other parts of the world where they don't to be petri dishes of festering bacteria.
On both occasions I enjoyed our stay here, so to you Freso Hotel in Suwalki, here's my salute!
