Dear followers,
Today we decided to discover the new part of Warsaw and to surrender to its unique atmosphere. We took the subway to go to the several places we had to see.
Most of the houses and buildings in the New Town are reconstructed because all of them were completely destroyed during the Warsaw Uprising. Today, the charming, beautiful, little streets are overloaded with restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars.
We have visited three reconstructured churches, namely the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Church of St. Casimir and the Church of the Visitation of Virgin Mary. Then, we all wanted something to eat, so we started looking for a nice restaurant. The restaurant we picked, was a typical Polish restaurant. We all picked a different menu. I have choosen for Rósol, a clear chicken soup, and Żeberka wędzone, some grilled ribs. When we were satisfied, we went on with our trip.
When we left the restaurant, we stood in the middle of the New Town Market Square. It is the main square of the Warsaw New Town. The square was establised before 1408 and it was orginally designed according to a medieval urban layout. As we were walking, we discovered that we weren’t the only tourists here! Everybody was taken pictures of the square and so did we!
Stefanie and I wanted to go shopping in the afternoon and the guys agreed, so we had to take advantage of that! While we were looking for some clothes and accessories, the guys were searching some souvenirs for their girlfriends in Belgium. The Polish clothing brands are well up to international levels, thanks to the help of young and creative Polish designers. We’ve had a pleasant afternoon but we became a little poorer… .
See you tomorrow!
