Breakfast was Clarisse's home-made granola with milk from last night's trip to the grocery store. Then we started walking through some of Warsaw's lovely parks.

Since it's our 35th anniversary, the original plan was to go out for one last posh meal. But after being out for six hours and having a rather large lunch, we change plans completely. It's off to the Piotr i Pawel (Peter & Paul) grocery store for bread, sliced meats, carrot salad, a tomato, and a couple of beer. This gets merged with our leftover black bread and salty sheep's cheese and makes a decent meal in our hotel room. Then it's simply a matter of watching England v Ireland (1-1), and packing for tomorrow's very long day of traveling.
Tuesday morning: Just by chance, the first tram is a spiffy new #4 which is much quieter than the old clunkers we get sometimes. At the
Śródmieście train station, we have to ask which platform as we're a bit early for the airport train. The departure board confirms that we're on the right one a few minutes later. The S2 is very modern and very quiet. Toronto is so far behind in useful infrastructure that it's embarrassing. The whole trip from hotel to airport is about $2.25.
Check-in is quick and we have a decent breakfast in the lounge. That's about it. Soon we're off to Copenhagen, then to Toronto. See ya'll soon!
