This is absolutely fucking ridiculous. I was pouring my water bottle onto my body and bed all night to try and get cool.
I literally poured water onto the mattress so I had somewhere to put my flaming feet. 🔥
At 4am I still hadn't gotten to sleep.
We got up at 11 and went to a little place round the corner for breakfast. Will got his dumplings again and I got soup for a bargain $1.20
The polish aren't as good at English as I thought they woukd be.
We ended up paying for an extra drink we never received because the community was just to difficult to bother with.
We walked to the National museum in search of air con and because the museum is free on Tuesdays - woo
The musesum was mainly just paintings and religious artifacts. Still very cool though- some of the carvings of Jesus were fantastic. Me and Will should be art critics we would do a fantastic job.
I really like paintings with bold colours, strong lines and outlines.
There was statue Will overlooked and I had to draw his attention back to because I thought it was hilarious. I burst out laughing. It was a statue of Mary Magdalene (supposedly) and it was ridiculous. It shall be one of my uploaded photos hahah
It had one wall that showed the old countries lines/borders and I find it so interesting because it really wasn't that long ago that the map looked completely different.
Will gets very anal over the 12 disciples and counts every painting/sculpture to make sure there is the right amount haha makes me giggle every time.
* under his breath * "1, 2, 3...." haha
This is like our bazillionth museum and I still get impressed over the detail of things. The wood carvings especially.
It had a section with textile rugs and shit but it also had this bad ass crown that I want.
POLAND NEEDS TO WORK ON ITS AIR CONDITIONING. we thought for sure a museum that houses precious artifacts would have an adequate cooling system but sadly, no, it did not. It was significantly better than outside though!!
Next door was the Polish military museum which we popped over to see and hopefully steal there air conditioning from only it was closed BUT the front lawn section was open to the public and it had a vast range of tanks, planes, helicopter, missile bomb things etc just chilling there so we walked around and had a sticky beak.
A lady went into the building so we thought maybe it wasn't closed after all - we went to follow her but then noticed she swiped herself in to the sections ahead - we quickly figured that it wasn't open and went to left.
As we did a security guard was running over to get us hahahah
Oops.
I think Will really enjoyed looking at all the machinery.
It was pretty bad ass I must say.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 not coping.
We headed to a shopping center to take refuge ONLY IT WAS NOT COLD EITHER 😭😭😭😭😭
The toilets inside were the nicest I've ever been to though lol. It had like little rainforests in the walls.
The shopping center overall was nice but had a confusing layout.
We were both in foul foul moods so we went home.
We sat in the 35 degree common room (no fan - nothing) 😭😭😭😭😭
We asked each other questions from trivia pursuit for like an hour before we headed out for dinner at the hard rock cafe.
We walked past the palace of culture and science several times today - it's a big building that reminds me of Big Ben. Apparently it was a present from the Russians to the Polish so there are mixed views on it.
I'm currently laying on the floor of our room because of maybe 1 degree cooler.
This sucks.
Dead and dying so I went to reception to ask for a different bed because for the last 2 days THREE bottom bunks have been empty.
So the reception dude should be fired for being a pig.
I simply said that I was really hot in my bed and I'd like to change if possible.
In the most seedy way possible he told me I could come and sleep in his bed. Wink.
Like really? Dude I'm your customer.
AND THEN I was like "it's just too hot"
" what, you don't want to be a hot girl anymore?" Giggle giggle.......
pig.
After I just stared at him unimpressed he changed my bed.
Much happier on the bottom bunk and I slept much better.Read more
