Julia and Jenn are so over Warsaw

So... now that we have fully adjusted to local time( though we still ate at 6pm like Americans and then wondered why no one was out at the bars at 7:30... silly us). Anyway after a night of wandering around trying to find the perfect spot to have a drink, you know somewhere not too expensive, not too filled with old people or diners, we finally found somewhere Lemon Bar. We enjoyed two drinks,(Lemon drink anyone? whiskey sour -( blended whiskey sour, think slurpy style)?

As we continued our adventure, I managed to kick a cobblestone and break my toe. At least that is what we realized a couple of hours later when it was black and blue and immobile, at the time it just hurt so bad I introduced the locals with a whole new vocabulary. The Warsaw uprising that was my blistered feet has now developed into an international conflict involving a whole lot of athletic tape and some ibuprofen.

After going to bed at a reasonable time, we woke up a little before 8 and left to room, only to encounter a huge pile of rancid puke right outside our door. Damn drunk hostel-goers. We sidestepped the puke and went upstairs to the kitchen to enjoy a much anticipated muesli and yogurt breakfast, only to discover that the same damn hostel-goers have stolen our 2 zlota yogurt. At this point I am pissed. Jenn refuses to let me steal someone else's yogurt and is now on an early morning grocery store adventure trying to replace our yogurt. I am so over Warsaw. We have really enjoyed this hostel (check it out here) until about half an hour ago, so I guess it is time to be moving on down that dusty trail...

Our next stop is Krakow, where we will be staying at Mama's hostel. We have learned a couple of good lessons here, label your yogurt, close toed shoes are awesome, buying coffee at the hostel is a way better deal than at the Polish starbucks, called Coffee Heaven, and staying in our own two bed room is highly preferable to sharing with drunk 19 year old Europeans., though this is unlikely to actually happen until Croatia. We will take all of these lessons with us and hopefully have a less complaint filled post next time.
