Dzień dobry

Last weekend Connie and I went to Poland; Warsaw and Krakow to be more specific. To be honest, Poland has never been at the top of my travel list but we were invited by Connie's flatmate (Agnieszka) to her birthday party so we just took the opportunity and went. We flew Saturday morning to Warsaw. We spent the afternoon going round the old town. I found it to be an interesting place given that it was almost entirely destroyed during WWII. It is not a pretty city as such but I found it has some charm. And besides, we were accompanied by Mariusz, a very good friend of Agnieszka. He knows a lot about the city's history.
Later that day, it was time to celebrate Agnieszka's birthday. We went to a bar in the city center and after a few shot of the national drink - Vodka that is - we spent the evening dancing. I usually don't go out like this very often but once in a while it feels good...except the next morning. I had a very good time :)
Next day we went to the spa to relax. It was a really cool place. We tried sonas of different temperatures, steamed or not. One very strange thing was the ice room, you know the place where they usually stock dead meet. Well, the same but with still living meat :).
After this relaxing day, we took the train to Krakow. It feels somewhat a more modern city than Warsaw. The weather wasn't so great but I still enjoyed going around the city center.
At the end of the afternoon we started to make our way towards the airport to catch our flight back to London. We had a very good time there and met some nice people. I wouldn't mind going back there again.
