We were pleasantly surprised by Warsaw, we expected it to be all concrete and communist looking but it was beautiful. Our hotel was very central, beside the Palace of Culture and Science. We were shattered when we arrived, thanks to Munster's win on Sunday (our rugby team got to the final of the European Cup so we had to celebrate) and our 5.15am taxi, we still managed to haul ourselves around some of the sites though, the old town, the Royal Castle etc. We ate a leisurely late lunch sitting in the Old Town Square- photo here

Tuesday we went to the Russian Market (a market set up in a disused football stadium) and the Palace of Culture and Science and then got a train to Krakow.

Krakow is lovely, a really old city and we are stayed in the heart of the old town just off the Market Square. The place is full of culture and history, beautiful churches and architecture, a magnificent castle (Wawel Castle, which also has a , just beautiful cathedral- photo here

We took a tour one of the days to Auschwitz concentration camp. It was harrowing but very worthwhile.

The wedding was Saturday and we did a 6 hour train journey on Saturday to get there. The wedding was so much fun, the bride looked stunning and there were lots of different traditions for Polish weddings that I had never heard of...special songs to drinks shots of neat vodka to and everything. There was so much food and drink it was just crazy, and the locals were very hospitable.

So, all in all, a great trip, highly recommended!
