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.

Food stalls selling traditional food.

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

Funny details.

 Music.

 History meets new way of building.

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!

Moments in time - Gdansk - Warsaw - Krakow - Auschwitz

Gdansk - wooden crane

As I promised I share now few moments in Poland with you. There were differend feelings during our days in Poland. Beautiful old buildings - or lookalikes like in Warsaw. Warm people - great friends. Unbelievable heat. Coolness of big park in the heart of the capital city. Wonderful coffee moment in cosy street. Sound of beautiful music from synagoga. Wonderful bookshop. Movement of wings of butterfly in silence and in warmth of the sun. Such a big experience as country itself. Are you ready? There's plenty to see.

Kuten lupailin tässä muutama ruutu tai useampikin tämän kesän Puolan matkaltamme. Ison maan vieraana koimme elämyksiä - pieniä ja suuria. Kolme erilaista kaupunkia. Tulen muistamaan tämän matkan kyllä. Samalla toivon, että mahdollisimman moni - jonain aikana ja jonain päivänä - antaisivat pienen hetken elämästään niille miljoonille, joiden elämä pirstaloitui tai päättyi käsittämättömän ja äärettömän vihan uhreina. Puola oli mielenkiintoinen matkakohde.Varsova jäi kaikkein vähäisimmälle huomiolle - on siis kenties syy miksi palata ja kantapää oppimäärän perusteella voisi todeta, että perussanastoakin voisi ensi kerraksi harjoitella. 

Krakow - in the heart of the city

Krakow - at ulica sw. tomasza - wonderful cafes and restaurants

Krakow - it is cafe camelot - we sat in the window

It's funny in Krakow - you can walk streets without noticing that there's plenty of cool and interesting places and things in the corridors and inner wards. Be brave and get there. I found galleries, interesting shops like Lulu, bars and much more.

Krakow - camelot's neighbor - concept store lulu

Krakow - Calik gallery - my x-mas tree got one peguin

Krakow - kazimierz - jewish town

Krakow - charming

Krakow - font love

Krakow - foodie goes charoset

Krakow - so precise

Krakow - we are art with diana arbus

Sometimes it is hard to understand why we the mankind learn so slowly the good things but the bad things need to grow only one second.

Book to read: Night by Elie Wiesel - I read it in a train from Krakow to Berlin. And you know I'm not a good reader at all. But I couldn't stop reading.
