A lovely sunny day in Warsaw to welcome me. Landed at 10.30 having caught the second flight of the day out of Heathrow. At least travelling at that time you have no problems with queues at security. Got the bus in from the airport and checked into the hotel. I`m on the 20th floor, with a wonderful view of the Palace of culture and science, a present from the Soviet`s. Spent the afternoon wandering around the old town, most of which is quite new, the previous version having been destroyed by the Nazis.
