Scene 2/25

@Lublin-Kraków

"Czy mówisz po angielsku?" Catatonia °, a Fairy Lights Mushroom, asked Scratch as they waited in the queue at Lublin Airport baggage claim. Scratch, a Tabby Cat, looked at it with a puzzled expression. "What did you say, Catatonia °?"
"I'm trying to learn some Polish," it said, holding up its phone with a translation app open. "I thought it'd be fun to surprise our new friends!"
Scratch chuckled. "Good idea. We'll need to know some phrases if we're going to explore Poland properly."

Scene 3/25

@Cathedral at Dusk, Lublin

Once they had their luggage, they made their way to the tour coach to be taken with the other pets to the hotel. The scenery outside the windows grew darker as the sun dipped below the horizon. The city lights of Lublin began to twinkle like stars as they approach­­ed their destination. The hotel was charm­­ing, with a quaint lobby filled with the scent of fresh flowers and polish­ed wood. The reception­ist greet­­ed them with a cheerful "Witaj!" and handed out keys.

Scene 4/25

@Lake, Lublin

Their rooms were cosy, with a view of the illuminat­ed cathe­dral spires in the distance. After quickly wash­ing and chang­ing, they head­ed down­­stairs for kolacja, or supper. They started with soup, follow­ed by stuff­ed cabbage leaves. To finish, they enjoy­ed szarlotka, a spiced apple cake with a crumbly topping. Then it was an early night for all!

Scene 5/25

@Cold Cuts for Breakfast

The next morning, they were served a hearty break­fast of cold cuts, cheeses, and pastries, accompan­­ied by a variety of fruit juices. The sweet aroma of fresh berries fill­ed the air, and they couldn't resist fill­­ing their plates with the vibrant colours of the fruit. Jingle and Scratch chatted with the other pets on the tour, shar­ing their excite­­ment for the day ahead.
