    July 31, 2017 in Poland ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Tossed and turned all night.
    Why can't it be cold, bug free weather?

    We took washing up to the "laundry room"
    Which consists of ONE washing machine. Hah.
    We were lucky in our timing though - the previous load only had 10 mins to go.
    We have dumped our stuff in and our now waiting for it to finish - I am completely out of clothes.

    Once they were done the most magical thing happened..

    I BOUGHT A TICKET TO GO SEE THE CURSED CHILD IN LONDON 😭😭😭😭😭 beyond exited.
    Quite happy to be going by myself. It keeps true to the loserish solo s club visit ✌🏼✌🏼
    It was 100£ per play ( they show part 1 and 2 as separate performances )

    I had planned to shower but we needed food first so we went out and got a pizza before coming back to finally clean the layers of grime and sweat off me.
    There was nowhere to change so I took a risk and jumped out rudey nudey and got dressed as quickly as i could hoping no one came into the shower block.
    All was well 👍🏼 phew. I feel so much cleaner.

    We went walking in the 32 degree sun to the Lazienki park and royal palace.
    They have so much open space here. Just kilometers of park.
    We got to this dense section though and it had squirrels!!!!!! We were so excited to see one and I took so many photos of it until we actually looked around and found another 10 - I love their fluffy tail and how they hop run 😍
    We walked up a bit and found a peacock too just strutting it's stuff on the palace wall.
    I like peacocks. One of my favourite birds I reckon. Will and I listed our favs and mine was Penguin, Swan, Toucan, duck, Peacock.
    Just in case this changes in the future...

    The palace itself was nice and almost modest in size. Still I'd happily take up the place.
    It had a big lake our the front you could paddle a swan boat in if you wanted.
    We walked around it and sat in the shade.
    DYING IM ACTUALLY DYING. I don't know why I can't cope with this heat but I can't. I was dripping again.

    We saw pigeons in a tree which just seemed wrong.
    The man pigeons need to chill. All we ever see is them spinning trying to impress the ladies. They just chase after them and are always denied poor buggers. Maybe if they didn't try so hard? Haha

    So far I have seen 4 different public sprinkler systems for people to walk through and cool off it. Great idea.

    We walked back and grabbed a Powerade to try cool down with. It was ice cold so that was great.

    On our walk we walked past what we assume is parliament cause it had cops out the front and protest stuff on the street.

    I really like the stop/go traffic light man. He is really cute looking. I'll need to get a photo.

    Why is Australia the only nation smart enough to incest in fly screens?

    We have now been harassed by our 3rd drunk man on the street. And not just drunk - off their face slurring at you.

    The roads are well marked.

    Is Australia the only one that sells V? I don't like Red Bull I want a V. Boo hiss.

    We walked to what we thought was a shopping center only it wasn't ... so we took cover in the air conditioned KFC.
    We stayed for a while before heading back to the hostel where Will downloaded game of thrones and I crashed for 2 hours.

    Once awake we went for dinner. We ended up in the same old town square but a different resturant. Will for his dumpling things again.
    I got a delicious pineapple daiquiri.

    Walked home.
    It's still hot.
    Tomorrow is suppose to be 35 -.-

    We talked to the girl in our room for ages - her name is Amy.
    Me and Amy stole the room fan and so now it is pointed at us haha woo.

    I watched game of thrones and now Will is.
    So good! Great show.

    I need to pee but I don't want to get off my bed.
    Going through photos has reminded me.. we went to get breakfast in things and on the way I stepped in a puddle of bin water 😒

    Palace dude also had a mini theatre in his backyard.
    Forgot to write history of palace...
    It once had a king in it and in WW2 there were plans to blow it up - the nazis even got as far as drilling holes in it but never finished the plan. ✌🏼

    Wills comment from yesterday that came from nowhere...
    "Asians.... don't they look like fish"

    I now can't unsee it...
