2004.09.15 in Warsaw
Some hardworking Polish hammered away outside when we went to sleep at midnight. WTF is that? (We got a 2-bed private room instead of a cheaper dorm room for the previous night (09.14) - we came in late w/o a reservation but the room was nice and still under $25CDN). After nearly 2 weeks of sunny weather I woke up to hard rain, but not before more hammering woke me up @ 7am...
The rest of the day was spent walking around Old Town, visiting the Unknown Soldier's Tomb, the Warsaw Mermaid, and learning about the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. For dinner we had some really good kebabs (shoarma) - there are these little kiosks all over the city. We wanted to buy some Polish sausage @ a supermarket but while the women behind the deli counter knew little English, you just have to point and count how many/much you want. Also, the beer and chocolate is damn cheap here too! i.e. A pint (0.5L) of Heineken costs under $2CDN in the grocery store.
Unfortunately there's not much to see in Warsaw, but the people have been very polite and friendly to us, so it's been a worthwhile visit.
Beer Rating of the Day: Zywiec = 4 out of 5 stars
