A lovely rest day in Warsaw: a beautiful city with old and new co-existing comfortably. Everything was within walking distance from our bed and breakfast.
The streets are easily navigated despite being the venue for the spring fashion show, complete with television crew and balloon girls and fashionistas left and right.
The Pope featured on church walls, flowers were placed in every possible space, the streets were clean, the people were lovely and the food gourmet and well presented.
Information was hard to come by and impolitely and resentfully given by those paid to dispense it, entirely typical for our travels in these countries.
We attended part of an orthodox church service outside, not sure of how to enter or behave once inside. The chanting and singing was broadcast outside and the adornments and lights coud be clearly seen through the glass.
The park was beautiful, sprawling and glorious in springtime bloomage. Well dressed young and old walked and played in the last of the daylight.
What a beautiful place :)
