A month and a half in Poland... Even though we did quite a few trips close to my hometown already, it was time to head some place further, see a different part of Poland. And what better place to start than the capital! When we were booking the train tickets I have noticed that finally Poland had upgraded some trains since the last time I took one, so we decided to fork out a few extra bucks and t...

I have to say it left me slightly puzzled... these are examples of the less bizarre pieces on display

I couldn't believe it when I saw this painting on display - I know it pretty well, as it was hanging at my parents house for years!

Hate Queues
Just hate queues, but sometimes it can be worth it. Glad that world youth day didn't spoil Warsaw although I think I would have been angry at the queue jumping.

As usual you have informed us of all the things we didn't do but on the upside they are now on our list for our return.

Nice to see old Fiats back in action!

I was offered a ride in one of those tiny Fiats once. I am close to two meters tall and when I tried to sit in the backseat I had to sit sideways or rather half lie down. It was very uncomfortable. Luckily the ride was only 10 km so I was out of the car quite soon. /Ake

Whoever came up with these models, most certainly didn't have comfort in mind... I can imagine how difficult it must have been for you to squeeze into one of these. Love these cars though, simply because they were a part of my family :)
