The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The old town of Warsaw is a fun place to wander around, climb the wall, and have a snack. This is also the home of the tour bus so get here early. I’m sure during the summer this place is packed all the time but today it was easy to take my time and look at all the fun buildings. Warsaw has a lot of churches. Some look old and crumbling others are more historic and preserved. This one had a unique design that was hard to get a good shot of. Much of Warsaw was destroyed in WWII including the city wall and castle.

Along the Royal Mile, there are mainly shops and cafes but they are dotted with the small garden or a glimpse outside the city. This is the place where everyone walks their dog. As with any city, the dogs are the friendly ones in the street. Compared to other Baltic countries, Poland does not seem to have as bad of an alcohol problem with children. While I saw the few broken bottles this morning, I saw more people drinking coffee and orange juice for breakfast rather than beer. The beer didn’t start until 11:00 am. I had mine at 2:00 pm and after a day of dehydration and not enough food, that one was plenty!
