Wonderful Wroclaw: Last stop in Poland

What a great end to our Polish adventures. We've loved travelling in Poland; the towns are full of history with their majestic buildings, often reconstructed after war damage. The people we've met have been great: often going out of their way to help.

Anyway, we're here in Wroclaw in what feels like a communist era campsite. We've also got a large number if Irish travellers with massive caravans for company, each with their full size washing machine and accompanying large 4x4. Some younger members of the group have flash BMWs which cruise around the site with the music going... Cool, Great, live and let live and all that... but we've got a large 4x4 on a UK plate, too........no washing machine, though.

We love Wroclaw. We easily travel into town from the campsite by tram.

Impressive Town Hall, that


Impressive Town Hall Clock, that


Even more impressive main square.. might be the largest in Poland. St. Mary Magdelene's twin towers are just visible at 10 O'clock.

 We climbed the church tower to get the previous shot

These little fellas crop up all over the place:


Yup, that's how us Brits deal with Brexit...


This is a detail from the amazing Panorama of the Battle of Raclawice, so long that it has it's own circular building.

From the bridge between the twin towers of St Mary Magdelene's Church - The woman with the broom was condemned to sweep here for eternity as a penance for leading a frivolous life... luckily, the little girl contrived to get this sorted by a passing wizard.


Lots more, but that will do. Goodbye Wroclaw.

Turning homeward tomorrow.
