Under the Bridge



Yesterday, yesterday all my trouble seemed so far away – it’s such a great song. It has nothing to do with the blog, apart from the fact I always start these writings with the word ‘yesterday.’

Anyways yesterday I went exploring! Don’t assume anything crazy, I just wanted to get outta the apartment for a few hours. Sara went to the uni and I stayed home alone and got bored pretty soon. When I finally got out, I had to realize it was raining. But I already got dressed, and was in the mood for getting some air, so I decided to do what any other people would do, headed under the nearest bridge. I worked it out on my own, if I wanna stay dry, far away from people, and be outside, with a good view I gotta get under a bridge! I took a tram to the bridge between then National Museum and the National Stadium. When I got there, thanks God it’s stopped raining so instead of homelessing under the bridge I went for a walk. I’ve been to that place and North from that place, with both Sári and my brother, so I decided it’s time to go South. When I set off, I didn’t know what was ahead of me! Previously I was always complaining that the Vistula River in Warsaw is hardly in any use, the city basically acts like it’s not even there – or at least I thought so. But South from Poniatowskiego Bridge that’s where the party begins! There are bars every 50 meters, there are street workout places, stairs to the river where you can sit any enjoy the view – and the beer that you probably have bought in one of the bars. That place is just awesome! Oh, and right in the basin of the next bridge South (Lazienkowski Bridge) is a beach volleyball court! Okay it’s just under construction right now, but the time beach volleyball will be in question they gonna get that place ready!
Oh, and I’ve also found a tiny harbor! With adorable small boats all over the place! Here look:

 

Unfortunately, I couldn’t admire them any longer, because Sári’s class was over, and I was supposed to cook lunch for us, so I had to get home as soon as possible! So, I went to the nearest bus stop and started checking the buses. When I got there, a bus had immediately arrived, but I wasn’t sure if we had the same idea of where to go, so I didn’t get on, I tried to work out which bus was going in my direction. By the time I opened Google Maps another bus arrived, so I decided to hop on – I figured if 2 busses had already got to the bus stop the next ones might only come in I don’t know 10-15 years – by the time I worked out where I was headed on that bus I was already close to downtown with many other bus options, so I got off and took some time to think about where the hell I was. Luckily I found a bus that dropped me of in a 20 minutes walking distance from home, but unluckily I got 5 minutes later home than Sári, so I disappointed her with the food situation.

Overall, I think it was a pretty great day, I got to see many parts of the city I’ve not seen before, and that’s always* a good thing.

I hope you had just as much fun reading this as I had living it, see you tomorrow,

Last Day in Warsaw

Image
  Our last day in Warsaw… When we got up the whole apartment was basically completely empty. Nothing was left, but a few backpacks, the food in the fridge, and the clothes we were about to put on. It was really sad. To start the morning exciting, and cheer ourselves up a bit we started our day in Costa Café or the Nero café — I honestly have no idea — where instead of coffee we drank chai latte. Sari did made me chai latte before, but since we don’t have either a printer nor the balls to print money we used cheep coffee and cheep chai thingy, which meant I was almost drinking something completely different. I absolutely loved the chai latte they gave me, so did Sari. Bummer, I wish I knew about this earlier. After our coffee break we packed everything and headed for the last shopping, we bought the little things that were absolutely needed for our successful trip home: bread, doughnuts, and the missing kinda beers. It was a successful trip. Then we drove home, prepared our meals fo...

Eastern Poland

  Yesterday we broke the record of the number policeman we have met ever in a day. They were everywhere. However before getting in to that we started our day in Bialystok. Where it was -10°C in the morning! I got us some breakfast then till Sari packed our staff I went to get our car. While I was walking to it I checked all the cars on the street how icy were they trying to assume how thick ice cover did my car grow overnight. Luckily the car was only covered with some snowish loose staff that was easy to get rid off with a broom. However in the inside everything was frozen. The motor didn’t even start for the first time, then when it finally started it sounded like when you didn’t put the dishes properly in the washing machine and everything falls out, that was the exact same noise my motor was sounding. It was definitely not pleasant.  The temperature had risen to -8°C by the time we got to our first stop. It was the Church of Trezescinka: a beautiful huge wooden church with...

Sunday Market

  Yesterday we went to the Sunday Market. Or actually we went to a Sunday market – I suppose there are several Sunday markets all over Warsaw. The one we went to is called Gielda Staroci na Kole. Although it wasn’t as big as the Sunday market in Pécs, I still wouldn’t call it small. As we saw they mostly sell porcelains, old coins, tools, and similar useful goods. Visiting this market was quite an experience! The market itself takes place at a closed garden, but the garden seems to be not big enough for all the sellers, some of them sell their staff on the street right next to the market! First, we didn’t even know what’s up with that place. We didn’t see the conception. It took some time and some walking for us to comprehend what’s going on. I might’ve told you earlier, my plan was to buy a bike, so I could ride it to the uni, so one of the reasons we went to the market to see if they have bikes, if they have how much they cost, and what they look like. Well unfortunately they ...
