I've just returned from a very unexpected week's holiday in Warsaw -

might like to know about the public transport system there.

You did better than my wife and I and elder daughter managed! We never did
work out what ticket to buy nor find a kiosk apparently selling them so
walked everywhere, not a big problem, we found.

Not really - but really, it was impossible to miss the kiosks, they were
totally ubiquitous in their yellow-and-green livery, and anyway, they
all said "Bilety" on them.... not a hugely intuitive leap to realise
that meant "tickets", I found. Actually, the one that wasn't intuitive
was "Papierosy", which I thought at first must be newspapers, and it
wasn't until nearly the end of the week I realised *must* be
cigarettes/tobacco!

In Krakow we did walk everywhere, apart from a coach trip which was
pre-arranged (I think).

I wish we had been able to get to Krakow; we were hoping to, but
pressures of work.....
