Warsaw Travel Blogs

I've never owned a bicycle, therefore my cycling skills are pretty much non- existent. I had mentioned this to Barbara, my Polish friend and guide, and she took to teaching me to ride a bike. Clearly, she didn't see this as a big deal, only that she didn't know what an insurmountable task this was.…

We also started very slow on this wonderful Sunday morning. The sun was shining like the two prior days and like the day before I let my hosts take easy and take their time. They slowly woke up and we had a great breakfast and discussed the plan for the day. Our first goal was to att…

It's raining here in Warsaw, but we've decided to head for Bialowieza anyway, leaving a little before 9 a.m., first towards Bialystok.

It's Friday and Warsaw is frenzied in preparation of yet another busy weekend. The weather is not very friendly towards a visitor who has only brought with her summery dresses (mostly white), 6 inch strappy sandals, T-shirts and... just one pairs of jeans! Thank goodness there are a few very large …

Unfortunately, they I didn't take this this photo. Girl of my brother has executed them. It is necessary to concede that girl has talent. Fine warsaw is night. I love walking by night after this city. Certainly in this tome are dangerous do I walk only with main streets. Fact that I live on…

"I've started to collect pictures of old Lada and Fiat cars. I think these are soooo cute. I would definitely want one if their steering wheels could be upgraded. They are so tiny and colorful and just tooo retro to imagine. In Belgium, maybe in a whole year time, you'll see one of them rusting …

this is only the begining ;)

I was planning on flying to Warsaw on Thursday March 1 but there were severe thunderstorms in the Midwest that day.   Besides that, my friends flight from Seattle to Chicago was delayed beyond making the connection to the LOT flight bound for Warsaw. I was going to Warsaw for the g…

Warsaw is my the most lovely city. Capitol of Poland, great but most tragic history every corner of the street, rebild after almost total destroy during World War II. Great museums, nightlife, parks, shopping places...and much more. Love this Great city and I stop over there every time I visit Poland.

This is a "spur of the moment" trip.  My buddy Michal and I decided to go, bought tickets and reserved a hotel all about four days in advance.  I like doing things like this once in a while.  I've wanted to visit Prague since I was in high school.  A good friend of min…

It was Saturday morning when I was biking across our "Central Park". A little cold and rainy hour, no sun and no many people. Park is usually a lively place, but right now the redecorating works are led so "Józef Piłsudski Park" is quiet and changing.   Al…

I couldnt wake up too early this morning as yesterday we had some white wine and today I had a small hangover! I went for breakfast with Roxy around 11pm. This time we went to another coffee place in the main square. I fell in love with that old and beautiful square! I took my last photos!. Roxy is…

     We got up this am to go and meet with a local guide who was going to show us around Warsaw. When I first met her I wasn't sure what to expect, she put me in the mind of Rosie O'Donnell with a mouth to match, lol. I don't mean foul just loud which was wonderful because at no…

“There’s something happening here… What it is aint exactly clear There’s a man with a gun over there Tellin’ me, I got to beware I think its time we stop, children whats that sound? Everybody look whats going down…”  For what its worth,   Buffalo Springfield I tr…

Another day of work… blah, blah, blah.  The bonus today was lunch.  They made sure I was well fed today.  Lunch consisted of a type of pea soup and pirogues.  It was very good and apparently very authentic.   After work three of my colleagues took me into town for dinne…
