Warsaw, Poland

So we are sitting at a Burger King in a shopping centre in Warsaw.
We caught the train from Berlin, which was very comfortable. It was also nice to be with people who smiled again. The Germans didn't seem a happy nation. From Quedlinburg we were aware that everyone was generally quiet.

Had lunch in the dining car, which felt very civilized. They even had savignon blanc, although it wasn't that nice. But still, it felt decadent travelling this way.

We arrived in Warsaw,  stored our bags and went exploring the old town and it's square.

Walked back slowly to the main station which has a large shopping centre next door. Embarrassed to say we found a burger king where we got chicken burgers and wi-fi so I could update this blog.  We gave ourselves plenty of time to fetch our bags and wait outside in the cold, no benches, for an hour. But now we are comfortably on the bus, sitting upstairs, one seat back from the front. Hopefully we will manage to get some sleep. A woman near us has annoyingly loud music from her headphones. Sounds like people shouting in Polish or German.
So the music stopped, but I'm dying of heat now. This feels hotter than India! Won't be helping my sore throat or Roys cough. Almost prefer he freezing!  Maybe I can do the next idiot abroad with all this complaining. Actually, besides getting a heat headache, I'm quite comfortable, with my boots off (to help cool down), a bar under the seat in front to put my feet on, and very happy to have wi-fi. Going to see if I can make it to the loo downstairs without waking anyone along the way. Maybe it's a little cooler down there.
