warsaw cool down

There is currently a heat wave in Poland and, without air conditioning, it is unbearable to stay in the city.  To escape the heat, the warsaw diaries went to the Park Kultury in Powsin to one of the city's open air pools. It is a bit old school (although I adore the mushroom inspired trashcans) and there are only 2 small pools but the pools are in the middle of the Kabaty forest on the outskirts of Warsaw--- it is really a lovely setting. The entrance is 10 zloty and 8 zloty for students. To get there, take bus 519 to the very end of the line.
