Piotr has continued to show us the sights and culture of Kazimierz in our free time. On Tuesday we went to a small bar in the market square to watch an Argentinian band. There were no vocals, just piano, drums, and an accordion-type instrument. It was fantastic! Later in the week the local band "The Kazimierz Hobos" also played in Mecmierz. The band sing about anything Kazimierz Dolny, from the nun cult to the fire station, and from the brief translations Piotr gave us they seem very funny! The atmosphere was amazing, everyone was dancing and knew all the words to all the songs! We really felt like we got to experience a staple of Kazimierz! After the gig we headed down to a bar in Kazimierz market square for beer and some guitar playing. Piotr brought a second guitar from their home in Warsaw so Craig and Piotr could play together and entertain the other bar-goers.
To top off our cultural activities we also went to an art exhibition opening of a friend of Piotrs. There was a great turn out to this too. Kazimierz has a great community feel to it and you see all the local faces in the bar, at gigs, in the gallery, at the market on a Friday. It's great!
We celebrated our final day in Kazimierz with a last ice cream and another campfire at Pia's house, a friend of Piotrs. I really love sitting around the fire roasting kielbasa and drinking beer. We had more music and singing, this time joined by a Jazz Violinist too! It was a great end to our time in Kazimierz Dolny, although we are sure we will be back again in the future!
Total joint spend: €1780
