Russ opted for a rest day, so George and Sue set off on foot at 8am to explore Lazienki Palace and Royal Baths Park.
Definitely a more summery feel in the air and no wind for the first time since we arrived in Warsaw.
Tennis park and football stadium en route.
The Lazienki Palace is on 78 hectares of gardens and in the middle of a lake…first glimpse
The view from the bridge and then into the gardens.
Can you read the T-shirt- these kiwis got lost!
Wandering through the gardens, planning on a circumnavigation of the Palace, after about 40 minutes we ended up back in this exact same spot, not actually having got near the palace.
On the way, however…
The Orange grove house – with a very manicured orchard of round orange trees (pruned to perfection)
Squirrels running around in the treed gardens…
Memorial monument to Fredrick Chopin, surrounded by deck chairs to soak up the ambience.
This bird enjoying the peace and quiet and sweet smell of the rose gardens.
And this bird enjoying the summer sunshine and smell of cat poo….couldn’t rest for too long and checked the bottom of my shoes..but all clear!
Back down the hill towards the palace…
Peaceful little rivers and pathways….and a full circle of the right hand corner back to where we started.
Ok, palace on the radar now, we stick close to the lake.
Et Voila, up close and personal with the palace building. Around the side to the back gardens and lake.
This story continues….
All who wander are not Lost girls
