– Warsaw & Cracow –

” The mermaid in the centre of Warsaw’s Old town “

From the 30th of March 2018 to the third of April I went in Poland  for holidays ( Warsaw and Cracow ) from Riga where I was living in that period during my 4th year of university. I organized this trip with one of my best friend Perla that I met her in Riga in the first semester.

DAY 1 – Friday 30.03.18

” Old town Warsaw “

” Lazienki park “

We depart from Riga at 3.00 am we did more then four hors by bus to go in Vilnius where we had our flight to Warsaw, that was one of my funniest flight because our flight from Vilnius was at 9:10 am and we arrived in Warsaw Chopin at 9:00 am while Warsaw is one hor back instead of Vilnius.

Then we took a bus to the city center we suppose to stay at the Oki Doki Hostel so we went there by walk afetr the bus, but once we where there the receptionist told us that they don’t have any reservation and they have an other hostel in the old town so we took Taxify to the Hostel in the old town. Super exausted from the journey we walk around the old town randomly and we stopped for the luch at the Sznyt reastaurant precisely in the main square.

Later we took a taxify to the Lazienki park while it was a very sunny day, that was very enjoiable spend a bit time outdoor.

For dinner we traied to eat the famous Pierogi just out of our hostel at the polskie pierogi zapiecek restaurant, personally I didn’t ike it at all. Then we went traight to the bed super tired from the long day that we had, and the early alarm the next day.

” Cracow’s Rynek Główny grand square “

” Walking through the Old towm of Cracow “

” Wawel castle “

We woke up at 4 am to go to Cracow, we took again the taxify to the train station then the train was at 5:00 am and we arrive in Cracow around 9 am, the weater wasn’t halping us, I mean very cold and cloudy, terrible, none around looks like a death city, we just stopped in the first bar for have a breakfast.

Then we went in the main square of the city,  Rynek Główny Square very big and suggestive unfortunately for the weater that we weren’t lucky, then we walked up to the Wawel Castel very beautiful buildings nad grat view.

Later we went in a randomly restaurant in the old town to eat somethings, we took the last walk around the city and then we took again the train to Warsaw where we arrive ther around 7 pm or even earlier.

Straight to the hostel very nice and welcoming atmosphere in the bedroom we were eight person if I remeber well but we didn’t really socialize with ours roomate, just quck shower and then dinner at Sznyt reastaurant the same as we had the lunch the prevois day and after clubbing at level 27, very grat club we had a lot of fun.

( Actually the plan of the day was to visit auschwitz that’s really near to Cracow but we could’t becouse all the tickets were sold out while was easter holidays period ).

Easter day, we were totally in hagover from the night before and those days very instensive so we put the alarm at 10:30/11 am.

I woke up that Perla was sceaming on her grandma for wishing an happy easter, that was too funny and super epic!! Then we get ready to the luch easter, expect something cool for celebrate but then every restaurant were closed so we eat a pijalnia restaurant also this one just in the end of the street of our hostel.

We walked around but the city was truly empty then we come back in hostel for rest a bit, we socialized with the staff and the others guest and we had a traditional easter  Mexican soup and then we played few games together, then we left the hostel for meet Sofy one of my class mate of the second semester in Riga, that she was in Warsaw with her mother.

The last day in Warsaw for me was really hard I was kind of sick because a get the cold staing outside and visinting all the time and the weather dis’t help us.

So we went out of the hostel for the lunch time we eat in a randomly restaurant and then we visited all the places that we didn’t explore yet like the Polin museum of history of Polish jews actually we tried to visit it because was close when we tried to get inn, so we opted for the jews cemitery and then we come back to the hostel with taxify to pick up our bags, but before going to the bus station for the sunset we visit the Palace of the culture and science where we found an unexpected amaizing view of the city.

Then we eat for the dinner at the shopping center next to the bus stop and then we took the bus at 9.20 pm with Lux Express bus to Vilnius where we change bus and then proceeded to go back to Riga.
