Warsaw, Poland - Saturday 20th July 2019


Several people recommended the Warsaw Rising Museum to me and I went there this morning. It is the story of two months of Warsaw resistance to the Nazi occupation and although I got there early it was already rammed with Polish visitors


I walked there from the apartment block that has the small studio flat that I rented for the two nights that I was back in Warsaw. In the courtyard of my apartment block was a remnant of the ghetto wall.

Warsaw rush hour on a Friday night and there doesn't seem to be much rushing.................



The next morning I met some of my new volunteer colleagues for a walking tour of the old town.



The motorists in Warsaw are courteous although when I spoke to others about it they disagreed.
