THAT FAMOUS HOSPITALITY - WEDDING IN WARSAW

Warsaw old town photo by Kreetta Järvenpää www.gretchengretchen.com


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!

Perfect summer wedding day at Kerimäki. We witnessed sun, rain, thunder and mellow summer evening with bright night. Birds were so in love that every one of them were singing. We sang too.

We love dancing. Band was playing wedding waltz and some tango too. Lady singer sang like a bird. Wow, what dance steps we took. Husbands sat when we started samba.

I will remember this evening and I'm quite sure quite many of us do too. Time flew too quickly and suddenly it was very early morning when we were walking to our accommodation.

Bright nights. Midsummer is coming soon - sun doesn't go down at all.

We slept well and woke up next morning to have a great breakfast at Ollila in Kerimäki. They have so beautiful old plants in house and outside too. There lives a real green thumb. You can find there old plants like this one - 40 years old. Same as me. A blurry one. Hmm.
