Woke up to the sound of rain :( oh well! could be worse I suppose. Enjoyed a light breakfast; there is so much to choose from - polish, continental and English. Happy days.
First stop on the agenda was the Copernicus Centre of Science - very excited about this place. Overwhelmed by the amount of things to do here; separate chemistry, biology, physics and robotic workshops, the planetarium, high voltage light shows, the list goes on. The centre is very hands on and caters for all ages. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who visits Warsaw, even of you're not that into science. They also sell tiny balls of ice-cream in little baseball hat containers....this was lovely!
Next stop was lunch in Warsaw Old Town. What a place! The original Old Town was destroyed in WWII; the whole place was rebuilt to the exact standard before the bombings using old photos. It's very picturesque with surplus little boutique type shops. Lunch was delicious; chicken noodle soup to start with roasted duck for our main course, accompanied by a glass of red wine made locally; when in Poland eh!!! We had a little time to explore this wonderful place before boarding the coach. 3hrs later we were at the school and dropping off the pupils with their host families.....we went to our hotel which is to be our home for the next 6 days. It's lovely!!!
Tomorrow will be our first day at the school with an adventure in the afternoon no doubt! Monika, the Polish co-ordinator is very organised.
