It was always going to be a busy day, our first outing into Warsaw. Consequently we’re up and at it, bright and early. Relatively speaking. Warsaw is divided into three distinct areas, the Old and […]

Ostensibly, we’re Warsaw bound, but not before a brief stop in Pulawy, to see the Czartoryski Palace. Home to Princess Izabella in the late 1700s, the Palace was a central point for culture, drawing in […]
