Published: November 4th 2014

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...

Parking sign at the Railway Station

It allows kisses and hugs for 15 minutes only. Is that a drop off point......or a pick up joint? It's a real sign too.

Wroclaw Station

About the third one built in Germany, as it was then.

Another view of Wroclaw Town

It is a lovely, classic European city.

HALA STULECIA

Centennial Hall, dubbed the Pearl of European Modernism, was built in 1913 to commemorate the German victory over Napoleon in 1813. The first single span concrete dome, over 60 metres across.

Hotel Monopoli

Hitler's favourite hotel in Wroclaw. He had the balcony especially built and always had Room 27. It's right in the front.

Hotel Tunski

Our hotel in Wroclaw . Right on the river. It is a lovely pre war building and was a great place to stay. It's the sort of place the German military would have commandeered for accommodation. Just speculating though.

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.
