Praga

We're still waiting....

Maria the midwife rang today to see if everything was ok. It was good to hear from her, and everything appears to be going fine. She told us that if the baby hasn't arrived by the 22nd or 23rd she'll book Amy to have another scan. Everything is fine though. The baby is really active and Amy regularly gets prodded by arms or legs - it must be getting tight in there!

Today was a public holiday so we went to the Praga district. It's an eastern suburb, which was off-limits to Western visitors as it had a reputation for crime and strange sights and sounds!! It is still not somewhere to visit at the dead of night, but today was lovely and sunny so we travelled over by tram for a quick look around. There is a huge Othordox Church and also a large Russian War memorial - Varsarvians' least favourite monument! A lot of scenes from the Pianist (a great film) were shot in Praga as it was not as damaged during WWII as other parts of Warsaw.

We came back via the old town as we were both in need of ice cream!
