Time to say goodbye!

Hello,

it' s our last day here in Wroclaw,

with people from 'Branza Dziecieca'.

 We are sad to leave them.

We are packing, saying goodbye to everyone here and going to post office.

It's time to go home, meet Johannes and give him souvenirs.

The good news is that today we are in local newspaper called 'Gazeta Wroclawska'.

Bye Wroclaw, bye Poland. We hope to come here again.

Sightseeing in Wroclaw

Hi there,

yesterday it was our one before last day in Poland, so we went to say goodbye to Wroclaw.

We saw newly renovated Wroclaw Main Railway Station.

There was another two Railway Dwarves,

first called Luggage - puller

and second one on the top of huge case in front of the entrance to railway- Suitcase- sitter.

We also saw interesting statue of anonymous passer- by called 'Gateway' made by polish artist Jerzy Kalina.

Later we went to the oldest part of the city - Ostr�w Tumski (the name means 'Cathedral Island' in Polish),

here you�ll find very old churches, cobbled lanes and original gas lamps. We went across green iron Tumski Bridge, where we saw a lot of padlocks.

People in love placed them there to symbolise the unbreakable bond they share.

Later we popped into Wroclaw�s proper marketplace Hala Targowa. There is a lot of fruits, vegetables, flowers, small shops.

We were quite hungry after long walk, so we had a chance to try �pierogi� (tasty dumplings with cheese, meat or cabbage).

In the end of our trip today we rest on a typical mailbox.

It was very exciting day.

We are sure that we are going home tommorow...

Public relations in Poland

Hello again
Our trip to Poland comes to the end...

 Yesterday we had a interview on Skype for german tv called MDR. 

 

We also went to local radio in Wroclaw and also were interviewed about our adventures. 

 

We haven't know yet, when it will be online, but we are very happy.
The bad news is that we are going home soon:(

Spring is here!

Hi to Everyone, 

 

 the news is that we've finally find spring.

   Here are the first signs of spring and sun.

 

We also saw statue of Frederic Chopin in the nearest park called South Park.

 

Best whishes Hans and Paul

We met some dwarves in the city

Dwarves are the smallest residents in main city of lower Silesia, but they still bigger than we are :)

 We met them during our trip. They are very popular as tourist attraction. They are everywhere!

On the lamp, near the bank, on the sidewalk, wherever you look you can see small creatures in hats.

We met:

Busker and Music lover on Olawska Street, in front of a flower shop.

They both consider themselves talented in music, so they entertain the passer-by with some dwarf music.

Sisyphers

They assist in the renovations - they began rolling the nearest granite ball assigned to decorate Swidnicka Street.

W-SKERS, Blind and Death- Mute.

They are three ambassadors of the initiative �Wroclaw without barriers�, situated near the entrance to Museum of City Art.

We still waiting for spring here. Maybe tomorrow...Have a great weekend!

We went to the Market Square in Wroclaw

Hello to everyone,

yesterday on Thursday we went to Market Square, which is the social and cultural centre of Wroclaw.
This is the place of meetings, happenings, concerts and performance art, lined with terraced cafes, restaurants and pubs, with outdoor gardens in the summer. Unfortunately, there wasn't open any beer garden yet, because of the cold weather. The Market Square is surrounded by houses of historical importance and many of them reconstructed after the siege of Wroclaw in 1945.  

We saw the Tawn Hall, which is the most outstanding monument in the Market. On the top of the tower is the city crest and the astronomic clock from 1580.  

Near the entrance to the Tawn Hall is hall thumbnail, so small as you can see it on the picture.

Near the Market is standing big bear postument- the watering place in the summer. People rub his teeth for good luck, especially kids love to observe him. We also did it and stand there. It looks very scary!

  In the end of our trip to the Market Square we stayed on modern glass fountain which in the summer time looks fantastic when the light mixes with the water.  

We saw the picture!
Tommorow we are going to meet few more symbols of the city and it will be surprise...
See you soon:)

Our second day in Poland

Hello, we still are in Wroclaw. 
 Yesterday we�ve spend all day in Branza Dziecieca. Especially Hans was excited, because he had an opportunity to see, what the editors of trade magazine do at work.

Later we had a chance to prove that we are brave little fellows. We went with our host to the dentist!!!
 
Karolina said that with us she wasn�t afraid at all.

After that was shopping time. We went to big shopping mall- Galeria Dominikanska. 

There was a lot of easter decorations. You can see it here.

Happy Easter to everyone!
Hans and Paul
