2010-08-19 Warsaw, Poland and Warsaw - I was already here at least 8 times, and each subsequent visit, I love this city more and more. This time, when LOT sell tickets for domestic flights at a great price, choose how to travel to the capital was obvious to me as never before.
19stego August Morning greeted me enough promising weather. As soon as I arrived in Poznan shower with low-hanging nimbostratusów reminded me that I have with each other or an umbrella or other jackets ... A short run to a nearby bus stop hasty line "L", aiming at the airport, has already made that I was all wet. The whole time I lived in hope, however, that "women's intuition 'friend, who from Krakow to Warsaw, came when I just boarded the bus at the Shoal, and to check the weather in the capital will be favorable.
check on our flight LO3958 started an hour before departure (this is the place to rozkładowo 09:00). Although I've already checked in online the day before, but unfortunately I forgot to add the reservation number, your Miles & More (since recently even the lowest fares are rewarded), so I stopped in a short line for a nice lady who quickly gave me a card and handed it to a traditional boarding card. Of course, my stupidity made it again I forgot to take out of the bag by a bottle of mineral water at the security check, it landed in the trash. Passing under the gate, got a phone call from my friend who gave me a very amusing, informing it that Warsaw, the sun is shining! Is this evidence of intuition ... ? ;-)
very nice touch was the sight of us podkołowującego Embraer 170 SP-LDC, a machine in a special livery "Krakow and Malopolska are inviting the image of Lady with an Ermine in the fin. A day before the flight I thought to myself that I would be fun to just fly in this machine - as you can see dreams come true ;-)
Boarding the plane with the use of the bus, but just by a few very efficient in our cruise passengers. From the standpoint of passenger Embraer 170 is really great plane, I would venture to conclude that the most convenient of all the machines in the fleet carrier.
fairly routine trip itself, as befits krajówkę free newspapers at the entrance (I chose the Republic) in the air service, consisting of cold drinks and a small candy bar Princessa. By then, the weather was bad enough we have experienced severe turbulence flying through the layer of clouds - in many things, but personally I like that feeling. In the middle of a very short trip (about 40min) began the clearances in the clouds - I thought that there is a chance for a pleasant stroll through town! Soft landing on the belt 33 and taxi to the 77th position When de-boarding traditionally visited the cockpit and quickly "ran away" to a waiting bus.
FLIGHT MOVIE With
HERE!
left the terminal, a second, I went to the bus stop and just went to him when my bus pulled up. Road to the Civil Aviation Authority took me about 20min. There I met a colleague that the materials in hand preparing to pass the following items (the sentence is a prerequisite for obtaining a license pilot).
After all, it's time for more enjoyable part of the day, a pre-planned tour of the city. The weather actually was very good, warm and sunny. Unfortunately I was wrong in my prediction that this would be a downpour - won a Colleague ;-) drove a tram at Central Station building and went "against himself." Passing the Palace of Culture and Science, overtook us, desire to take a souvenir photo - the only problem was who would do it to us. My friend decided to ask random here is a young girl, who unfortunately master of photography was not in the pictures taken and we could have dealt with 5% coverage ... My luck is better! I asked an older you, inconspicuous, and finally we made a pretty good shot - it is no longer male intuition! ;-)
Walk continued Jerozolimskie Avenue, and from the famous Palm's New World. Pretty street, but closer to the Old Town pubs that passed seemed to be ever more exclusive and expensive. At one point we turned to Marshal Jozef Pilsudski Square, and we got to the great Saxon Gardens. Photos taken with a fountain ! We liked this place, depriving the charm just standing there, a box with hot dogs ... I am opposed to such a terrible thing, and if I could I'd have it cut off.
instinctively reminded that from this point we're pretty close to the Old City, where they actually arrived at the street Senatorial Zygmunt Column. There will be no surprise that here we took a few pictures ;-) We had no desire to make himself even walk straight from school tours through the city walls, so we headed toward the Presidential Palace ...
And here is what we expected. When we arrived, it was hard for us to go down the sidewalk because it took his entire width of the circle of supporters and opponents of the transfer of the cross. Flame war and the barge it was something that started us (and others) simply amuse. In addition, the execution of my photos of the palace and caused dissatisfaction Cross confident older person who challenged me, that may be insulting ...
With trains home around 18:30 hours we had been unfortunately directed in the direction of Central Station. Again, in the Saxon Garden zawitaliśmy for a short break (7km walk but does yours) and then to station. Expecting the queue space to the ticket office in the main hall of the station, we bought them at the legendary underground passage. From that distance wyczytaliśmy tickets to Krakow is only about 7km less than to Poznan (the price was the same, ie PLN 25).
said goodbye and went to their platforms. What impressed me is that my train departed Inter Regio about time! Half-day trip home I passed relatively peacefully, but not so nice as the route by plane.
DREAM OF WARSAW Until fares will remain at the same level as now I will always chose the train instead of plane. And in good conscience I can go to anyone.
thank my colleague (Catherine's name sake of accuracy) for a very pleasant company, I hope that the legs do not hurt the next day ;-)
Meanwhile I am preparing for another domestic flight, this time Wrocław - Gdańsk - Classifieds ...
