Warsaw day 2

Today we eventually mastered the public transport system. The people who tried to help us made no sense in Polish or English but we found the tram and bus. At only 2pounds for a 3 day ticket, however, we can't complain. We went to Wilanow Palace, on the outskirts of the city. This is a Baraque Palace filled with painting of lavishly dressed polish nobles throughout the ages. It lacked the grand ballrooms of English palaces, but many rooms had scenes painted on the walls and ceilings. The journey also gave us a chance to see more of Warsaw- the suburbs were actually very similar to the centre. Rather than housing becoming low rise there was just more space between the tower blocks.
We have now returned to our hostel exhausted and will soon be in bed. An advantage of travelling outside the peak season is that we have the dorm to ourselves tonight, so none of the entertaining snoring that amused Suzannah last night. We have also both had what passed as a shower.
