Children from a secondary school sign the book of
remembrance which has also been signed by many world leaders. |
 |
 |
 |
Next, we visit a large and attractive
park: Lazienki Krolewskie. 80 Hectares, I believe.
A lovely park in spite of the fact that Spring hasn't yet
really arrived. |
 |
 |
A memorial to Chopin. Open air concerts
of his music are held here in summer. |
 |
 |
|
A delightfully cheeky red squirrel.
|
 |
The summer palace used by the kings of
Poland. I can't remember which one. |
 |
 |
Now we walk along some of Warsaw's poshest streets. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
This memorial is to the underground resistance.
Literally, because they used the sewers of the city to move around
during the German occupation. |
 |
|
Back to the pretty bits again, quite
close to our hotel, Le Regina. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
This restaurant is, we were told, a
favourite of the locals. |
 |
 |
My Polish isn't good enough to know exactly what this
is, but I reckon it's an 'I speak your weight!' machine. |
 |
This hotel, The Bristol, is owned by a British owner. |
|
Some banners commemorating the student
uprising of 1968. My knowledge of
the fall of communism in Poland improved considerably thanks to our
guide. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Ah, the TV people, they get everywhere! |
 |
A poignant little picture to end on. |
 |
And that was it, photographically at any
rate. Nice food, hotels and people. Lots of memories and some more web
pages on my site. Great country, we plan to
visit Gdansk next: also direct flights from Cardiff. |
