Biking about Warsaw

As the threat of snow looms high in the air, let us remember the time of t-shirts and sunshine when we could bike about town freely.

Other hotels are available.

Other reptiles are available

other cancers are available

I do love that a major supplier of wedding and engagement rings is called... Apart.

Powisle spaghetti and meatballs, other forms of pasta are available.

And city bikes in the foreground other forms of transport are available (but biking is best)

National stadium

free hammocks next to the national stadium

Or tai chi, other forms of relaxation are available

In Praga (the East/Right bank) there is a nice park called Park Skarszewski, next to the Wedel chocolate factory. There is this little cafe which has received rave reviews.

However, the cakes were rankly over sweet, even this orange cake

After eating half of each piece we nearly wanted to vomit.

Not even the super weak and disgusting coffee could cover the flavour. It is built in an old public toilet so kudos for that, but the food and coffee taste like it still is a public toilet. My hot tip, avoid.

Along the Vistula

We met up with my dietician, the one I call "Creamy." We wanted to enjoy the great weather. Along the Vistula we strolled. From the ducks of Agrykola, to the hipsters of Miasto Cypel. Under bridges. Past wildflowers. Up to Powisle and the Copernicus Science centre, then into town for a burger. I'll let the pictures speak with a little caption or two.

The Agrykola park ducks get their own floating gazebo

The kids have a giggle

Copernicus Centre for Science. I still haven't gone in there! Too many crowds.

After so much walking we were peckish. So we headed to Lokal Bistro one of the new burger bars popping up in Warsaw lately. It is like a plague.

 

They sell Konstancin beer, a local brew which is quite nice.

You can tell by the design it is a bit of a hipster hangout.

First we ordered the cheese platter which was nice, but not over whelming.

And of course a few handles of Konstancin beer, which went down very well.

Next the burgers, here we have the smoked cod burger

And this is the pure Angus beef burger, I also added a fried egg. While the burgers were pleasant I think they really need some sort of side dish fries of course are traditional but maybe something a little different like roast wedges or patatas bravas would be good. It just needed a little something.

finally one of the new rental bike locations, shows you how popular bike riding has become in Warsaw! Of three of these here, there were only 2 bikes! Go Warsaw!
