A Rainy day in Warsaw Poland (part I)

Two years ago my fiance and I visited Poland. We stayed four days in Warsaw ...the rain did not stop us from roaming around the city. It seems like the history of Poland is everywhere around the city. Some Polish people adviced us to visit also Krakow because when it comes to history of Poland Krakow has much more to offer. Travel to Krakow is definitely on our list but as of now I'll share some photos of this beautiful Warsaw.

We walked...and walked...and walked... and took a lot of pictures.

The building is 231 m (758 ft) counting the spire.
