so we got the train on friday 8/12to Warsaw from krakow.
Its a very diffferent city and interesting.
The old town and the palace is only 50 years old has it all had to be rebuilt after the war where it was completely destroyed. They have done it really well and looks old as they have done it from drawings from the 18th century. I really liked it and you could feel the history in it.
We stayed at the OKI DOKI hostel in Warsaw which was a good location, friendly staff and altogether a fun place. and considering the beer in the bar there was 1GPB a pint then we were very happy! had a good weekend there!!
We went to the zoo on saturday and got to behave like little kids-so much fun! watched elephants running around and saw the penguins being fed- they're so cute! on sunday we visted the palace, wandered about and ate fantastic pierogi ( dumplings).

Many people feel that Warsaw does not compare to krakow but its different and grand and we felt there was alot to do. there was even fireworks behind the palaceof culture on friday and sunday!

Very early on monday morning we left for Vilnius in lithuania- figuring out the right train was a bit of an adventure!

hope everyones doing well!!
