Hotel Tychy
by Leipzig about Hotel Tychy
Actually, Matt and I wanted to meet at the station but I have no clue what "Station" means in Polish. After driving around for a while I found the street where Urszula and Matt live. Here was also located the "Hotel Tychy". The receptionist was very helpful, helped me to get a telephone card and showed me the building where Matt lives. The only thing I know is the lounge and the bar here. I had several beers, Tyskie beer, the local brand of course. One beer cost 3 Zloty, whcih is slight above the average - but hey, it's a hotel.
As far as I know a single room costs 150 Zloty each night.
Hotel in the center of Tychy
by matcrazy1 about Hotel Tychy
Hotel Tychy is located in the cemter of the city. Guarded (paid) parking, restaurand and bar available.
It seems that this hotel WAS quite good many years ago. Now looks a little out of fashion and a little neglected. His former owner rather didn't care of the hotel. Now the city ownes the hotel and maybe in few years it will be the best hotel in a city.
But I can't recommend it now. Prices per person per night:
1. Double room - 90 PLN,
2. Triple room - 70 PLN,
3. Single room, no bathroom - 85 PLN.
Full board - 80 PLN.
Hmm... too expensive at this quality in my opinion.

Meeting the locals
by Leipzig
My intention for the visit was a meeting with Maciek aka Matt, or even better known as matcrazy1, and his wife Urszula.
We met at the hotel Tychy for a beer and went to a nice restaurant. After an excellent dish we went to their flat where Matt showed me his little amount of photos. I can't believe someone can take so many pictures. On his trip to the US he took four times more photos then me in my whole life. Now you know why he calls himself "matcrazy" :-D
It was a fantastic evening and I hope to return in the very near future for a longer time to get to know both better.
