Clare and Ross's Retirement Adventure
3rd July 2017 - 6th July 2017
Warsaw - Day 2
I so want an easy day of walking so, we take the train to the Old Town. Well we thought we would. We walked to the station could not find a platform to the place we wanted to go. Out of the station short walk to the other station. No trains there running where we wanted to go. Back to the first place. In information lady told us to go back to the other station. We gave up and caught a tram! Then a bus, minor problem where do we get off the bus? A very nice lady helped us when she saw us looking puzzled at the list of buses. Hooray off we go. When we get off the bus the very nice lady rushes up to me and asks Do I like tea? Wondering if I looked very English I said yes and was shown a web site on the smallest phone in the world!! It showed a tea house I think and the name Same Fuzy, I was told to go there as it was a Polish experience. Ok not sure how we will find it but I told her we would try.
The Old Town has all been rebuilt after the Nazi and then Russian occupations and is lovely. It was a walled town and some of the wall still stands.
At the beginning of the area is St Anne’s Church, an organ recital was about to start. On the baroque organ. I get a ticket and went in (Ross went for a beer). The recital was heavenly and the church amazing so ornate I had forgotten what these baroque churches could look like. 30 Mins later I floated out on my happy cloud and found Ross.
