A tale of two cities -- Warsaw and Krakow.
Not many pics this time though as these two are well covered under "Photographs" -- "Poland 1" and "Poland 2 ".

by Ken » 04 Jul 2011 10:55 amMore pics of Warsaw under "Photographs" -- "Poland" from previous visits so I`ll just use this one for odd bits & pieces that were different/unseen previously.
Warsaw is a lovely venue for weddings. This one was different because the bridesmaids had wings and unusually long legs !

by Ken » 07 Jul 2011 09:57 amWe rate the restaurants in Poland as the best in the world. You could eat at a different one every night for a year in both Warsaw and Krakow and still not have covered them all. They are so beautiful and full of individual character :-
The waitors are friendly, the food is excellent and the prices still very low. We enjoyed a magnificent 3 course dinner (main course -wild boar) , including two rounds of drinks and the whole bill was a mere 90 Zlotys ( 20 quid for two).

by Ken » 23 Jul 2011 04:24 pmPolish beer is very good but the food is even better. One of my favourites is this Polish goulash in a hollowed out bread laof :-
---and before the meal you`ll be served a complimentary starter. A spread comprised of various fats, finely chopped meats and herbs :-

by Ken » 23 Jul 2011 04:34 pmNot too far from Krakow is the lovely little town of Neopolomice, where they`ve restored the old castle:-
--- and where wild bison roam in the vast nearby forest and where we went with horses and carriage to "bison hunt" (shooting with camera only of course !)

The price of food in Britain must be a shock for all the thousands of Poles who have chosen to live in the UK ?
