Poland

Warsaw

5/30

Traveling from Vilnius to Warsaw, we stopped at McDonald’s for lunch. All the fast food chains charge extra for the little packets of catsup, mustard, mayo. Sure missed those all-you-can-pump condiment dispensers back home.

 They are EVERYWHERE!

A Polish Mickey D's

No 'Polish' sausages on the menu?

Dinner - a pleasant dinner at the hotel

 

The one-choice menu

Chicken and - what else? - potatoes
