On our last day in Santiago we mainly shopped, did a little more exploring and made sure we were ready to rise at 4.45am the next day to catch the bus to meet our flight to Warsaw. We went to many shops in the higher up part of the Cathedral precinct where we had not been before, procrastinated over what to buy, prompted by Tim's , "that's just rubbish!", (or words to that effect), approach to our...

Cafe we had breakfast at on All Saints Day, a public holiday. It's an old dairy in the Jewish Quarter.

Very cool place and a top buffet breakfast for about $6.

Path along the River

Two dwarves; one pushing, one resisting.

Imprisoned dwarf.

Actually located in the window of the old prison.

Old prison courtyard, now a cafe.

It would have been hell in winter under a metre or so of snow.

Dwarf with umbrella.

Again, I'm sorry. Just a bit of OCD maybe.

Inside the Jesuit church.

There is a walkway through to the university as it was also formed by the Jesuits.

The organ pipes and surrounding adornments.

Ceiling artwork at the church.

Dwarves dispensing money at an auto teller.

Located outside a bank.

Same sculpture with friends...or are they lookouts?

Outside a cafe.

We have ways of making you talk!

Natalia and I climbed the Tower of Repentance for a better view and this one chair was on a level between the stairs. It looked a bit strange.

Dwarves lowering cakes from a cake and ice cream shop.

Top dwarf with ice cream next to him.

Lower dwarf receiving the bounty.

Nearly done with dwarves.......

Tim and Natalia outside PIWNICA SWIDNICKA

A beautiful place and it was frequented by the likes of Chopin, Von Goethe and many more illuminaries of those times. Today it's just us maintaining the standards.

Hitting the shops
So what did you buy that wasn't rubbish? I'm glad there was time for retail therapy before heading to Poland. I bet Natalia is having the time of her life showing you round. No doubt Tim is in his linguistic element using his exceptional language skills. Have a fantastic time. I am sure that your visit to the Camps will be very emotional but just going there acknowledges that the holocaust was real and must never be forgotten lest it happens again. Travel well x

What did you buy?
Not much. It's all rubbish. We did have to buy a few clothes and a pair of shoes but other than that, not much. Just back from a boat ride on the Danube. Great views but a little cold. Budapest is wonderful but too much to see in 3 days so maybe another visit one day. Cheers.
