Warsaw



Up early and a local guide to tour Warsaw's major sights. We stop at the Warsaw Jewish Uprising Memorial and see where the ghetto used to be. It was 100% destroyed in WWII. On to the Old City. The city was 96% destroyed and totally reconstructed shortly after the second world war to imitate the original buildings.

We then took a tour to the Vilanov Palace. Very pretty with a great art collection. The gardens must be amazing in the summer when in full bloom.




Next, to a small palace for a private Chopin Piano concert. Loved it!



Must prepare ourselves. Tomorrow is the longest driving day. We should be in Berlin before 7:00 pm if all goes well.
