Back to Warsaw weekend. Bought this promotion ticket for Adria Airways flight to Warsaw. Could you believe the promotion was that if you've bought anything in supermarket chain InterSpar, you could have purchased ticket for 100 € for various European destinations. Sweet, hey. ;-)
Why Warsaw? Well, why not? It's somewhere I wasn't before, not to expensive, rich culture, and (most important) not to near to home.
So, Vanja, Jernej and me decided to go on a 6 day break to Warsaw. And just to make things more interesting, we decided to visit Torun (UNESCO heritage site & birthplace of Nikolaus Copernicus) and Olsztyn (where couple of Polish friends Vanja studied with in Bayreuth live at the moment) by train.
I'm not going to write whole travelogue. But to make things short(er)- we had great weather, met some really nice and cool people (thank you Ana and Mateusz & this cool singer girl whose name I can't spell). If I had to rate this trip it would be just next to the best ones I took. Warsaw was great- from old statues, monuments, old city, hostel, all the way to jazz club & bars and restaurants we visited. Torun with its old gothic buildings has a great atmosphere and one of the best kept tourist secrets. What made Olsztyn so memorable were Ana & Mateusz, who showed us great hospitality and fun things to do in their city.
Dziękuję again!!!

Jesus Christ, to travel to Poland to have 2-hour religious discussion is very Primvs-like. However, to discuss anything with VANJA sure makes the difference! ;) And the beer you brought back this time WAS good. Cheers!
