Sobieski Hotel Warsaw

...and it took me to Warsaw.<br><br>[Top tip from my friend Julie: If you find you're to busy to read friends' travel blogs, print them off and read them on that boring tube journey home]<br><br>So I've been wondering about whether to blog or not. It seemed like a chore; and this Travelpod website and my intuition didn't get off to a good start together. But I've been persuaded by wiser souls that I should. So that's why this is late and I'm playing catch-up.<br><br>I've at least been ...

... arrived in Warsaw at about 3pm to our &#8220;ugly&#8221; high rise style hotel. It looks pretty old from the exterior but the room is very clean and comfortable and must have been renovated in the last five years or so. It is also very close to the bus stop (across the road) for our trip into Warsaw tomorrow. It also has a good internet ...

Warsaw Jewish cemetery The drive to Warsaw was 5 hours, including The Pianist on the bus, but I was so drained from yesterday that I couldn't watch much of it. We were taken around Warsaw's Jewish cemetery, which was surprisingly interesting when Gilad explained the stories of the people buried there. We saw the tombs of famous rabbis, Adam Czerniakow (the leader of the Warsaw Ghetto's Judenrat), the founder of Esperanto, and some people who ...

Entao, hoje a chuva deu uma tregua. Continua um frio danado, mas pelo menos nao ta chovendo. Fui no centro historico da cidade (Stare Miasto), eh LINDO. Uma das cidades historicas mais bonitas que ja vi, eh impressionante tb vc ver as foto da destruicao da ...

... he dropped us at the zoo, the home of our afternoon activity. we concluded, that a monkey is a monkey, whether its found in germany or australia. Same goes for everyother animal. It was great to walk around, dont get me wrong, but a zoo has a certain fun limit. we were pretty zonked after the zoo, so we went to the hostel and just napped for a little while, we had decided that we should find a nice little restaurant and just relax for the night. So that exactly what ...

... machine was broken. These days every zloty counts as I am on my last dollars! I go home and tell dad of my decision. He thinks I should go to Wroclaw. Damn dad and his suggestions. I've never been to Wroclaw and people have said it's a great city. I've already been to Zakopane before, never in the winter thou. Grrr... I start reading through my books. After a while I decide I should go back to the internet cafe ...

I get up and eat my usual breakfast: pate, bread, tea. I than decide to go ahead and do another load of laundry. I also notice that I really need to buy some more underwear. Having only 4 pair is making my life difficult. Back to laundry; It takes over an hour to wash a load and than I quickly hang them up so I can book it out of there and catch the changing of the guard. On Sundays at noon, there's apparently a big ceremony involving a band. I get ...

... made it back to downtown. We drove past the train station and some other buildings until the bus finally stopped in what looked like the older city (which like an idiot I should have known better, I had actually gotten off in what is known as "New City" in Warsaw, but that was okay.) Well, I realised this after I got off, but I knew that New City was within walking distance from the "Old City" so it was okay. I was dropped off in ...

Tired and hungry, I decided to exchange my money at the bus station from Euros to Slotych and I searched for some grub. The bus station in Warsaw had a reasonable restaurant, and since I was desperately hungry I figured that this would do...so I ordered some roast chicken and french fries with what I found out when I got it was unfiltered coffee. The coffee was disgusting but the chicken was absolutely delicious...not bad for 5 slotych (which I think is about ...
