We are on our way to Wroclaw, or Breslau as it called to. Put the address into pgs., no worries. Ha. We landed in a crescent with large expensive homes. We showed a bike rider the address who said, no not ending with an e, but an o is the street name. He put it in the system and of we went to the other side of town. It pays to be exact. It is a beautiful city, some buildings started around the 12th century. Much was destroyed during the war. Of one the entire roof and most of the walls were gone. Most denominations were repaired with donations. They tried to reconstruct it in the original. What an effort. Most people, special younger ones speak some English. Lucky because Polish sounds totally alien. Meals are cheap, although some try to rip you of by making things extra. Such as potatoes or vegie dish. The photos will give an overside of the beauty of the city. Today Monday 23rd the sun shines and the temperature is a lot better than 14. The cathedral island was first settled by Slavic tribes in the 9th century. Since a bishopric was build here in one thousand A.D. It took on and remained an important religious side. Did we forget to tell that the Polish people are very religious. At any time of the day you can find people praying in the church wether old or young. Again we are in awe of the reconstructive mammoth work done here. more next time
