"Warsaw is weird!"That's how Tim summed up his weekend with us after visiting from London for the weekend.
His observation came after we had both wandered around the city for much of Saturday night, while I tried in vain to find an appropriate hostelry or club to spend the evening. It's not as though Warsaw is devoid of clubs - there are loads of them - the monthly guides are full of new openings and pictures of cool looking venues, but I'm afraid after 11 months of Saturday nights at home, I didn't really know where to look for a good Saturday night out!
Instead, we ended up in a series of bars and pubs and mooched home at around 2am relatively unfulfilled as regards our (my?) desire for a disco!
Nevertheless it was great to catch up with Tim and swap stories. The two of us spent a sunny Saturday afternoon in the city, seeing the sights and then on Sunday we ate at Pub Lolek in Pole Mokotowskie. Pub Lolek is usually packed on a weekend, but the early rain on Sunday morning seemed to have put off the crowds that normally go there to enjoy their splendid barbecue.
By the time we reached the pub though the clouds had lifted and we had a nice time in their sunny beer garden.
Tim then had a disastorous time getting back to the UK as his Wizz Air flight was delayed by over 6 hours and then after a return journey back to our apartment and then back to the airport again for an 11.20pm flight (which should have left at 5pm) he was delayed again. Come to think of it, he may well still be at Etiuda airport now!
