Law courts in Warsaw, I think...and a dog


Warsaw rising monument and Danielle

At the same pierogi restaurant as last night, got a late start on the evening as Danielle fell asleep and Jeff at two sandwiches at 7:30pm so we had to wait to eat. We decided not to go to the Old Town again so we just walked here, which is about 10 minutes away from our hotel.

Went to a milk bar today that is located just outside of the old town. Had some strong instant coffee and some crepes covered in sugar and stuffed with cottage cheese. Pretty good but strong all the way around.


Milk bar in the morning

Went for a tour of the Royal Castle (got into a big fight with Danielle before hand, not much fun on a foreign country), which I as underwhelmed by, but I think that has to do with the fact that it has been totally rebuilt and is still a bit Spartan. Also if you take a tour of the castle make sure to keep your ticket out because various old Polish ladies will ask for it about five times.

I also got into trouble with one of the castle workers, I'm not sure what I did but she sort of yelled at me. I said: "New Rezumium" (I don't understand) and she said something like: "Well then why did you ask me a question?" but I hadn't, so I'm not really sure why she got mad. They also have people at every doorway telling you which way to go (you cannot go backwards in certain rooms) and which rooms you can and cannot enter, and not to lean over the ropes to read who the painting were of...
