Day 4 - Visit to croissant museum and retro tram tour

Poznán is famous for its delicious croissants - the St. Martin croissants. According to the legend, a young baker from Poznán was inspired by St. Martin and wanted to help the poor. The solution he came up with, was to bake croissants and donate to the deprived. The croissant, "rogale", is a product with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) recognised by the EU, and is of course an important part of the Poznanian heritage. 

The students were invited to participate in the baking prosess. Maham Zahra Mohammad did a splendid job preparing the dough! 

After lunch, a guided tour around Poznán was organised for us. We travelled in a 50 year old tram from the Communist era. While driving around the city, the guide pointed out important buildings and gave us the historic backdrop.

The students learned about the rationing system when Poland was Communist. We passed the building where the population of Poznán had to queue up to get their food rations until 1988/89. 

On one of the stops, a hooligan from the local football team got on the tram and taught us the chants of the local team "Lech". Like in many towns around the world, the football team is an important part of the Poznanian identity.

Stina Hinnerichsen had a go testing her tram driving skills.
