Day 2 - Warsaw, Poland

Lampros started his day with a run. I started my day by staying in bed! When he got back we got ready to leave, but noticed on the door that cause it is a Sunday we still have an hour till check out! (We thought it was at 10:00, but it was at 11:00) so we had a quick power nap because the day was going to be a long one..
When we started our walk out into Warsaw the first thing we did was get on the Metro and head to the Wisla river. There we got coffees and saw the mermaid statue - the symbol of the city. The legend says that the mermaid took an oath to protect the city of Warsaw and she sometimes emerges from the river to check on the city. The day was wonderful - sun was shining and we had a lovely walk along the promenade. Even though it’s Easter Sunday a lot of people were out and a lot of shops were open to our surprise. The promenade ended close to the old town so we walked around there and found a few souvenir shops and more and more tourists. Afterwards, we were getting hungry and went and bought a “Zapiekanki” which is an open face grilled sandwich with sausage, melted cheese, pickles, crispy onion and any sauce. Delicious! Reminded us of the hot dogs we eat with Stamos in CPH🩷. Then it was time for us to visit the ZOO!
It was only a short walk to the zoo, over the river Wistla, and the entrance fee was about 10€ per person. I think we had bigger expectations considering the ZOO’s we have visited in the past, and this one was a bit disappointing. Firstly they didn’t have any maps of the enclosures and when we asked they just said “yes” but didn’t give us any - ignored us. Then, when we walked around there were hardly any animals in the enclosures and a very small amount of signs written in English (and even when we found some they had misspelled words🤭). They seemed a bit unorganised and didn’t inform if the animals where there or not (it just seemed like some enclosures didn’t have any animals at all). Lastly, we thought that the elephant looked a bit malnourished - but we’re no experts, Stamos would be able to tell us!
At least we enjoyed an ice cream and saw a good enclosure for cockroaches styled like a house kitchen.🙃😛
We still had a few hours left before our coach bus to Vilnius which left at 21:45. So we found a Starbucks and sat there to charge our phones and have a drink and a snack. Then we walked back to the old town, eat something more, and when we walked back out it was poring with rain - everyone was looking for cover except for us cause he always have umbrellas!
Headed towards the main train station where the coach was picking us up from. When we boarded the coach we had booked the extra comfy seats, got comfy, and started our Journey to Vilnius! Lampros fell straight asleep and I watched Pocahontas. Time for bed for me too! See you tomorrow in Lithuania!!Read more
