Room sharing
Over your stay in Poland you will be grouped in rooms with one or two others in your group. If you did not specify who you wished to room share with we have paired you with another person or persons. Naturally we have tried to do this based on age and bus but sometimes this has not been possible.
Food
All food is kosher on this trip and is shipped from Israel. Breakfast & Dinner are in the hotel and lunch will be packed lunchboxes. If you have any dietary issues we recommend that you bring some of your own food especially for vegans, and those with more specific requirements. Vegetarian & Vegan options are available but often limited in variety.
Weather
Poland in April can be mild but rain is also common. We will try to send forecasts out a few days prior to departure.

Be prepared for all weather eventualities. There is no laundry so make sure you account for wet and muddy conditions. We suggest 2 pairs of comfortable walking shoes (not Uggs and not nice sneakers), Jeans, sweatshirts, fleece’s are all essential. We will be visiting cemeteries, Synagogues and sights of mass murder, if you would like to you can bring a kippa (head covering) with you.
Money
The local currency is Polish Zloty and is approximately 5.4 to the pound. Everything on this trip is paid for so the only cash you will need is the equivalent of £10 for tips and “pocket money”. This may be needed to cover a drink or snack while travelling.
