Roadtrip 2018 dag 6

11 augustus 2018 - Warschau, Polen


After the last night and a filling breakfast at our cozy hotel of Krakow, we hopped on the bike again and went off, deeper into Poland. The temperature was rising like crazy and we could definitely feel that in our thick motorsuits. Marcel had chosen a nice road that was partly a countryside road, partly a highway, so we could see a lot along the way and cool off a bit on the faster parts. At one of our pauzes we've found a crowd of wooden people :) Despite all the construction work that we kept running into, the kilometers were flying by and we travelled on happily, singing songs to take our minds off the heat in case we had to stand still. Soon today's destination was reached - Warsaw, the capital of Poland! There we've tanked the motorcycle and were soon checking in our apartment. It is big and really beautiful, we've got a fridge where our drinks can be cooled, a living room to work on our stories and a big balcony with a nice view over the city lights and, most importantly, a place to dry our washed clothes, what's also an important part of motortrips. We've enjoyed a cool shower, got ourselves enough water supplies and went out exploring. After figuring out where the public transport stops are, we took a tram to the beautiful old town of Warsaw. It was full of life - crowds, market, music and street actors.....impressive buildings anywhere you look. We were even more happy to discover a Golden Gates restaurant - we were running low on our fuel! After a nice meal we continued exploring, discovering little streets full of ice cream shops, squares and statues. We've also noticed something - as soon as Marcel and me would try making pictures of something, lots of people would get interested and go stand in front of us :) On our way we stopped for wonderful, huge ice cream "towers", and because it was getting dark, slowly went back to the tram station and returned to our place. There we went on working on our stories and photos, but we were worried about the motorcycle standing in a street, so Marcel went to park it in a guarded parking lot, trying to communicate with a man who doesn't speak English at all, and still succeeding! Now we can calmly go to sleep. Tomorrow we'll explore Warsaw even further!
