Warsaw

apparently, we were freezing :P

one of the main squares in the old town

castle on the lake (ice??)

Despite the cold weather and freezing all the time, the trip was successful and Warsaw is beautiful… Our travelling group was perfect and of course very international: Rabea (Germany), Valentina, Luis, Luis’s friend Beto (also from Mexico) and me.
Previously, almost everybody told us that Warsaw is an industrial city plus it was completely destroyed during WW2 (85% of the city…) but as a consequence, most of the buildings in the old city center were in an eminently good shape. The colorful houses and the Christmas lights highlighted the general perception.

purple christmas tree - almost february :D

We tried to look around and see as much as possible, so we went to a Park to see the Castle on the Lake, also Chopin’s statue that was a little bit abstract, walking around the old and the new city center, and visiting the Warsaw Uprising Museum! The most surprising part was the 3D cinema where we flew around Warsaw in 1945, after the bombardments. Of course, we ate many times and spent relatively a lot of time inside regarding the weather… Oh, and unfortunately, we “couldn’t buy” any public transportation ticket so that was free for us haha :DOh, and the funniest was definitely the change of guards at midnight :D
