through continents in 15 days


I can’t believe we actually made it!
To sum it up, we’ve been on the road for more than two weeks, before we reached our final destination. 30 hours train ride from Goa to Jaipur, then Jaipur to Delhi, then Paris, then Warsaw and finally Cracow. 

 
After shopping in Pink City, we did some suitcase stuffing in Paharganj – my absolutely fav shopping spot in Delhi.
After you rummage through all the crap, you can find some truly great and unique things. To be quite honest, I’m dying to get my hands on some home décor after we’re back in India (and have the home situation figured out, of course).


We stayed in Hari Piorko – hotel and shop in the heart of main bazaar. Hotels in Paharganj charge close to nothing, so for their prices, I expected slightly better service and food (!), but rooms are nice and clean, bathrooms spacious and, in the end, we stayed there only for one night. 



The shop is great for souvenirs and gifts. They have fixed (and more then reasonable) prices and a good selection of, well everything you may want to bring from India. Spices and teas in cute boxes, incenses, cosmetics, figurines and other decorative items, jewelry, clothes and more. Of course, if you are looking for something truly special, you gonna have to venture out into the market, but if you are short on time or don’t enjoy bazaars and haggling, this place is quite convenient.


Of course, Paris was the main event. I spent days planning every minute of these four days, making sure we do and see as much as humanly possible. Of course, we still have plenty left for some future trips, but we did manage to do nearly everything from my list. 



After the French interlude, we spent some family time in Warsaw, to finally land in my beautiful hometown. I decided that we should recuperate and deal with all the pending work, before enjoying all the city has to offer.
