More crazy backpacking jaunts in Warsaw with travel blogger and writer, Jonny Blair. We backpacked the Cool Globes and Elektrownia Powiśle.
Cool Globes was a project designed to increase awareness of global warming.
Founded by Wendy Abrams in 2007, Cool Globes came to Warsaw in 2016 with many of the globes on Bulwary Wiślane, down by the Vistula River.
Now, there are just eight of them on Leszczyńska, with a further two on Dobra Street.

We backpacked the Cool Globes, or as Jonny likes to call it, The Street of Globes (even if it involves 2 streets):
There is a bonus globe inside the Elektrownia Powiśle, the former power station, where there are shops and bars with lots of quirky power station memorabilia:
So, if Nowa Huta is the Polish Milton Keynes and Manafaktura in Łódź is the Polish Digbeth (Birmingham), then Elektrownia Powiśle is the Polish Battersea Power Station.
Just to give you some idea. Here are some of the crazy things we saw:
The Euronet ATM:
The control gear inside the Biedronka supermarket (which is the best discount supermarket in Poland):
The entrance to the toilets:
Even the seats:
I am a backpacking travel blogger. I blog on the road. Sometimes you just need time out to get the stories up. The Vita Cafe at the Elektrownia Powiśle and Green Caffè Nero, 2 of my favourite cafes in Warsaw:
