BAM!!! Like a rifle shot I've traveled the last 18 hours from my Sweet Home....... To Berlin and then driving to Poland to check out this town known for their artisans in ceramics. Driving through the Polish country side was easy and scenic, even though I'ld been on a cross-Atlantic burner since yesterday. I arrive at my hotel, Hotel Ambasada, and to my surprise I am immediately impressed. This old hotel has ALL of the character. A place were you'ld expect to see noted writers traveling the world searching for inspiration to ink the next page, or a place where photographers seek background noise to enhance their muse. (That was happening when I got to my room). The girl with the pretty eastern block face looked numb while her two photographers flashed away. One dude looked disturbed that I had to actually get to my room. Sorry bro.
The rooms here are cozy and take you back in time. There's also this hippy Bohemian feel to the place that meets you around every corner and mixed with local ceramic wall mounts and historic Polish pride. The vibe is a low electric hum. Comfortable and ready to come alive.
The bar down stairs looks Dungeonous and is filled with the deco of generations. It's genius in flow.
Back to my room, I hit the shower. Hot water, clean hot water! Washing Delta Airlines and three airports off your body is cool just saying it, but the bathrooms give off this euro feel. Get used to it. The ceramic lady on the wall watching me clean my man parts was unnerving but "Hey" when in Poland right.
The rooms are clean and you can tell the staff takes pride in their hotel. My bed looks like something from 1951 and the Polish revolution. I like it.
The bar tenders are super cool and Paulina introduced me to Tyskie, the local beer. After the Hawaiian pizza and a bit of writing in my journal my day is done. My home, for now. read more
