Polish Cities are getting colder as we travel, Moreover me and Angel are excited as we were going to kick start our journey towards Baltic and Scandinavia from here on.
Restored from ashes after being completely destroyed by Nazis during second World War. Today it is largest city and Capital of Poland.
The city looks dynamic with modern sky scrappers, historic monuments and stunning artefacts.
My vibes towards the city kept changing every hour I crossed, some times bringing in sadness with the amount of monuments, refreshing with the vast parks, comely with the arts and street graffiti.

| Mermaid - Symbol of Warsaw City |
STOP A - Old Town Square
As usual me and Angel started our walk early morning beating the rest of the tourist, we walked straight towards Mermaid (Symbol of the City).. Ow!! Our excitement didn't last long, she was out of our sight blocked by construction walls. Where Next? Royal castle should be the next catch said Angel, I can understand due to her love for painting's and arts.

STOP D - Lazienki Park,
What I most liked about Warsaw was it's park's, During our two night's in Warszawa strolling around parks took most of our time, They were so well maintained we didn't felt like getting out from them, Among all, Lazienki Park spreaded over 72 hectares is the largest and most remarkable to visit, Starting from monument of famous pianist Frederic Chopin,to Neoclassical Palaces, AmphiTheatre, Canals and Temple of Diana, welcomes us on Royal Route inevitably by squirrels,Ducks, chirping birds and Peacocks.

Warsaw monuments and Graffiti
City monuments underline turbulent history of Poland, local's light lamps, offer flowers. The Warsaw uprising monument was going under renovation covered with barriers, so as the tomb of Unknown soldiers, We passed across ,many woebegone graffiti reminding struggle of brave polish souls.
