I have mixed feelings about Warsaw, there were times when I felt very uneasy more so when I was being squashed on the tram heading into the city. Once I arrived I did manage to fight my way off the moving sardine can and have a wander around, I managed to find a quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle to grab a really quick shot of the "palace of culture" before my hands turned to ice.
I very quickly became so cold it started to physically hurt, bearing in mind it was -3/4, so I decided it was time to find Starbucks, not only did I need to warm up, but I wanted to buy the Polish mug for my collection.
Once I finally warmed up I decided to brave the cold again to go in search of the "old town". What a difference half an hour walk made, It really was like walking into a different country, just a shame the weather was the same. This part of the city is amazing, especially with all the Christmas lights and people generally having a great time. I think I lasted around an hour in the old town before I had to call an Uber and head back to the hotel.
