This week, we made a short trip to Warsaw and we enjoyed this beautiful city for four days. During four days it’s snowed and the temperature was –7°C but the feeling was –15°C during the day. It was cold but after our visit we decided that Warsaw is one of the best cities to visit during the snow. The christmas lights in the streets were still on and it was beautiful.
We stayed in Mercure Hotel in the heart of the city and we walked to almost everywhere. We visited the National Museum, the old city walls, the Praga district. We made several walks in Nowy Swiat which is most colorful street of Warsaw where are located lots of good shops, restaurants, cafés and patisseries. During four days we tried to taste every polish food we find in different places and each time we ended happy with the choice. We made more then one visit to A. Blikle Patisserie founded in 1869 for drinking white wine and eating paczki -which is polish donut-. We tasted different types of pierogis -which are polish dumplings- in Zapiecek. We ate the best dishes in a polish restaurant named Przy Trakcie. Tuesday night was jazz night at the hotel’s bar and was another occasion for another bottle of wine.
We walked in beautiful Lazienki Park covered by snow and visited there the Palace on the Isle, Myslewicki Palace and Old Orangerie where is the Royal Theatre and Royal Collection of Sculpture.
For keeping the body warm and the mind healthy we drank lots of these: tea made by homemade raspberry juice, herbs, cloves, orange, lemon and vodka.
We brought home some delicious smoked Polish cheeses.
We brought home also some Polish pottery. We love Polish pottery!
You know where is the best Irlandzki Pub east of Dublin?

Füme peynirlere, seramiklere ve her zaman olduğu gibi gülen yüzlerinize bayıldım.
Hep böyle gülsün dilerim gözbebekleriniz.
Ne güzel şekillendirmişler peynirleri değil mi Tülinciğim, dantel gibi işlemişler, biz de bayıldık. Seramiklerin arasında da insan kendini kaybediyor.
Güzel dileklerin için de çok teşekkürler dostum.
