Day 5 - Touring Warsaw with Hubert Pawlik

We met up with our private guide Hubert Pawlik (http://www.warsaw-citytours.com) at our hotel for our 5 hour walk/drive tour of Warsaw. Hubert is a 44 year old licensed guide and third generation living in Warsaw. He surprise us by telling us that he had talked to Marta (http://www.privateguideinkrakow.com) our guide in Krakow yesterday. They are friends and collaborate on tour arrangements sometimes. We were surprised since we discovered separately - small world - though Hubert reports over 2,000 guides in Warsaw.

Our day started by visiting some old pre-war buildings in Warsaw. Most of the city was destroyed during bombing. Very few examples of these structures remain today. Hubert also took us to a local market - a common place during communist times for materials and food. Yes. We tried the soup made of liver and stomach.
