THAT FAMOUS HOSPITALITY - WEDDING IN WARSAW

It was our second time in Poland. Above you can see old town of Warsaw. We were guests in Polish wedding. I would not have believed if somebody had told me how many different courses we ate that night. 8-10. Yes. Depends on how you count. That I call true hospitality. We ate, danced and had beautiful party like you can imagine.

When we arrived to the party restaurant - tables were full of decorated food already.

After party - next day - we had time to go a bit around Warsaw. We noticed that there were Easter already on the streets.

Colorful details. Great cafes like Cukiernia Nenette. It's a place where you can eat at least gluten free and sugar free.

Street art makes a statement?

Interesting and colorful contradictions.

The scene from our hotel room's terrace. Our hotel was in center of Warsaw. This is maybe a bit like sterotype thought of Eastern Europe. Concrete jungle. But there are much more to see.

There are big parks in Warsaw too, small one you can see here in the picture. But in one day with tired eyes from yesterday party we decided to keep our day in Warsaw quite laid back and slow. Walked around old town and made easy and fast decision when choosing the restaurant and ate well in Polka restaurant. Polish traditional food.

If you want to see more, you can find my Poland post from the summer 2012. That time we flew to Gdansk and took train to Warsaw and from Warsaw to Krakow. I prefere travelling by train. It's more environment friendly.
 
I have a flu so today is a home office day - great day to blog :) 

Have a great week!

  1. Oh, wow! I loved Krakow but this really made me wanna see Warsaw too. In Poland the thing that amazed me most, was the variety of delicious vegetarian food! So it's not just a land of sausages :)

    1. I loved Krakow too. It's smaller. Warsaw is big. They drive 70-90km/h there right in the center...

    1. Kiitos Laura! Oli kyllä mielenkiintoinen kaupunki. Paljon puistoja :) vaikka kuviin niitä en nyt tällä kertaa saanutkaan. Ei ollut lehtiä vielä puissa ;)
