Just in case anyone is still reading, I am still out here, polishing my Polish. The tour ended tonight with dinner in Warsaw Old Town, after an exhausting day - for me, running round trying to take it all in.
We came by train from Krakow in the morning, and had the rest of the day in town. Warsaw looks great in the sunshine (yay! sunshine!). The same can sadly not be said for me. I was here in 1999, and they have done a lot to tart up the town in the last 12 years. (Again, the same can...) It now has gleaming statues, pavement cafes everywhere, and a real buzz. It is Chopin's home city, so there is lots of music everywhere. It really does rival Krakow as an attractive city.
Krakow was great, though. The sun was out at last, and it is a great city for people watching. You could stand in the square and in the space of a minute see a mime artist on a break, a "Sound of Music" nun, a cellist, two policemen, a parade of Scouts, and a stroppy family of Liverpudlians eating giant pretzels. Make up your own list - they will be there!
Off to Wroclaw in the morning for Monday's flight. I'm a bit fed up with all the travelling now - looking forward to my ain hoose!
Have a safe journey home.
