Free time during the day was spent eating dumplings, shopping at the colossal Manufaktura, visiting what's left of the Jewish ghetto, enjoying spectacular views from the top floor pool of Andel's hotel, perusing kitsch boutiques and being pampered at the stunning Le Grand Salon.
ms² at Manufaktura, a modern art gallery where we played an amazing chamber concert spanning the full four floors of the gallery.

Evenings were spent performing incredible concerts at the Arthur Rubinstein Philharmonic Concert Hall followed by experiencing Łódź's incredible nightlife - from a bar full of old black-and-white porn photos, to the chilled-out Owoce i Warzywa ('Fruit and Vegetables'), and dancing at Czekolada and Gossip.

I had the terrifying task of negotiating Polish roads (replete with trams and rather fierce motorists) on the EUYO office bicycle in order to run various errands - and despite my apprehension, I am now officially a 'chic cyclist', having appeared on the Łódź cycle chic blog!
Admittedly, there's definitely still a hint of trepidation on my face, but I'm still rather proud of the accolade!
