This hotel, nice though it is, is 4 kms out of the centre, so being lazy people today we took a bus. There was a machine on board that you had to use to pay with your credit card. $2 for the ticket, $5 for the overseas credit card !
Tomb of the unknown soldier.
It’s warm so we’re going to walk around the sights
this bloke was selling tennis balls on a long piece of stretchy . Christine gave him a game. She’s happy. Had her fix for the day.
The old town. There was a painting here that showed this exact scene in 1750 but with horses and carts. The old town wall remains can be seen on the left.
No cars allowed in here so it’s Sedgeways or horse and carts
The palace of culture and science. Until recently it was the tallest building in Poland. It holds cinemas, theatres , museums, all that sort of stuff
and right across the street the new Poland.
If you want a novel way to look around you can hire one of these Communist era cars
or slip into leathers and spikey helmets and take a cruise on this.
This is the city of Fryderyk Chopin and there’s memorials to him every where. This one is in the palace grounds next to our hotel. This is a big amphitheater with a lake in front of the monument . At 12.00 and 4.00 every Sunday there’s a free concert here. See the piano ? We could still hear it from our hotel as our room faced over the park. Lovely! We could have spent another day in Warsaw but we need to be heading north
