Work trip to Warsaw

A busy few weeks travel wise.

Wednesday (4th) morning I caught train up to Heathrow (excellent service) and then flew to Warsaw from Terminal 5. Evening was spent... Stopped off on the way to dinner and had an excellent hot chocolate at Staroswiecki Sklep. Seemed to be the normal thing to do.

First thing Thursday morning I gave a telephone presentation on Agile development to France Telecom IT Executive Committee - seemed to go well. After this, a quick dash to the office to run a workshop for the rest of the day.

Wandered around the old town. The restaurant I was hoping to go to Podwale Piwna Kompania was completely full at 7pm.

Friday morning was workshop again and then headed to airport after lunch. Got there early and relaxed waiting for plane. Everthing was on time and I even managed to get an earler train home - getting to Bath about 9:30pm
