Off to Warsaw !


Hello everybody !

Whow ,that first week in Belarus was amazing ! What a way to start our trip.I didn’t expect that the country would be so beautiful.
More than satisfied we can continue this trip and set sail to the second destination. But not before taking on a 4 hour drive towards  the second country on our route , Poland.  We decided to make our first stop in the Polish capital , Warsaw .

We booked beds for 2 nights in a old motel right in the center of the cities oldest district , the Warsaw old town . This area really is a lovely place to stay . The houses here are old but yet so colourful and charming .
The whole area has been built somewhere in the 13th century around the castle of the Dukes of Mazovia that later became the Royal castle . The former Polish president and his chancellery even decided to make it their residence in the early 20th century.

The motel we’re heading to is named the Kanonia hostel and it’s only 20 meters away from the old town market place. That market place has earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list for the way is has been reconstructed  after the second World war.
During this process the original bricks and decorative pieces were re-used. This is going to be really nice to see ! I'll make sure to upload a few pictures tomorrow .

We're getting a guided tour around the square this evening and tomorrow we’re going to take the metro into the newer part of Warsaw to enjoy some more of the lovely things this city has to offer.

Greetings from the whole team and stay tuned  !
