Surprisingly the bus journey from Lithuania to Warsaw only
cost me 16 euro and on an overnight bus at that. We did get stopped somewhere
along the road for police inspection and while checking all the passport mine
was withheld for further checking. The police went off the bus with my passport
and a few other as a well and kept us by the side road at 2 am in the morning
for nearly an hour before deciding everything was ok.
Warsaw …. Was modern beyond words and base on the history of Warsaw and Poland for that matter everything was destroyed in WWII. It’s amazing how they could rebuilt everything regardless. Proof to show that humans are as resilient as hell. As big as Warsaw is I was constrained to where my feet could take me. The summer heat was finally getting to me if not the laziness that I brought with me from the Baltics countries. It was blazing hot walking around Warsaw in July and one would melt if not in the shade.
Somehow when in this crazy heatwave I miss the cold weather of Patagonia …. But I know I would curse when I am too cold as well … It’s so hard to find that fine balance. I tried the walking tour and after that was too exhausted to explore much on my own. I did manage to walk pretty much a lot without knowing but every day I seek 2 hours of shelter in the Cinema watching whatever was on at that time.
Food wise I was stuck with the polish chain version of fast
food …. Pierogi outlets where they served traditional polish cuisine and the waiters
were all girls in fluffy flowery dresses with short mini skirts …. The food
were good amazingly plus it was reasonable considering how loaded I was and the
eye candy did help too … I ate there 3 times in two days …..
I could not escape the casino of course although I was
finally out of the Baltics …. There is always one and this one was Casino
Poland located inside the Marriot Hotel …. The first day for some reason I
could not find the entry and never did thought it would be inside the hotel for
I saw the big sign outside in the building walls. …. Second day I walked in the
hotel regardless thinking I dun give a dam what people think anyway if I dun
have money since no one knows me here …. True indeed Casino Poland was there
and I was gambling for hours … only to chalk up PLN 200 …. Well a win is always
better than a lost …
Next day I ran as fast as I could … Krakow …. But Krakow had one too …

First taste of Polish hospitality was at the train station(this
was where the bus dropped us off in the early morning). Information desk said
to go to the ticketing desk for future train purchases or information and at
the ticketing desk they directed me to the information desk …. Too lack of
sleep to bother I left the train station to find the hostel …. Good thing too
for 3 days later I just turn up and buy a ticket on the spot to Krakow which
cost as little as PLN 49 … ~ 10 euro.
