Wroclaw: Dwarf City

Onto Wroclaw which strangely enough is full of dwarves, adapted to specific situations. E.g. withdrawing money from a tiny ATM outside the bank. Or a dwarf with a guitar as a nod to the almost 8000 guitarist that descend annually for the Guitar World Record

I had a bit of laundry to do with meant a bit of a walk outside the centre to SqeedQueen. Lukcily there was a nearby Cat Cafe to pass the time when waiting for the laundry. Here there was a half a dozen cats, either lounging around or chasing toys. They were mostly quite podgy so well fed!

Wroclaw has a large pedestrianed town square, and in the centre of the square the old town hall buildings, yet another smaller square off the main. These are lined with cafes & bars, it was lively but not having when I was there. In the smaller square there is a staircase descending into a bomb shelter which now houses the small MovieGate museum. Here there is a bunch of movie props and costumes, bit of a weird setting but worth a nosy round!

Later I had some borsch with over baked pierogis at on eof the restaurants lining the square, nice to be able to dine al fresco and watch the world go by. The borsch is lovely and warming, but it's 23C and sunny!

 A pleasant walk was round the edge of the old town, in a sliver of park beside the canal. This route envelopes 3/4 of the old town. Quite a few non-dawrf sculpture dotted around town. A giant chair near my hotel for instance. A cluster of farmyard animals down a quiet lane. Outside a theatre a crocodile with a helium balloon tied round it's jaws dragging it up into the sky!
