We visited the steelworks, then on to the most glamorous '50s style restaurant for a quick shot of vodka and a chat over some old photos. We later visited a retro apartment unchanged from the era. There we were shown a propaganda film, followed by more vodka!! Then stopping for a lunch of typical polish food. The food here is basic but really interesting and hearty. We were told you could feed an entire family…”
