We met some dwarves in the city

Dwarves are the smallest residents in main city of lower Silesia, but they still bigger than we are :)

We met them during our trip. They are very popular as tourist attraction. They are everywhere!

On the lamp, near the bank, on the sidewalk, wherever you look you can see small creatures in hats.

We met:

Busker and Music lover on Oławska Street, in front of a flower shop.

They both consider themselves talented in music, so they entertain the passer-by with some dwarf music.

Sisyphers

They assist in the renovations - they began rolling the nearest granite ball assigned to decorate Świdnicka Street.

W-SKERS, Blind and Death- Mute.

They are three ambassadors of the initiative “Wrocław without barriers”, situated near the entrance to Museum of City Art.

We still waiting for spring here. Maybe tomorrow...Have a great weekend!

We went to the Market Square in Wrocław

Hello to everyone,

yesterday on Thursday we went to Market Square, which is the social and cultural centre of Wrocław.
This is the place of meetings, happenings, concerts and performance art, lined with terraced cafes, restaurants and pubs, with outdoor gardens in the summer. Unfortunately, there wasn't open any beer garden yet, because of the cold weather. The Market Square is surrounded by houses of historical importance and many of them reconstructed after the siege of Wrocław in 1945.

We saw the Tawn Hall, which is the most outstanding monument in the Market. On the top of the tower is the city crest and the astronomic clock from 1580.

Near the entrance to the Tawn Hall is hall thumbnail, so small as you can see it on the picture.

Near the Market is standing big bear postument- the watering place in the summer. People rub his teeth for good luck, especially kids love to observe him. We also did it and stand there. It looks very scary!

In the end of our trip to the Market Square we stayed on modern glass fountain which in the summer time looks fantastic when the light mixes with the water.

We saw the picture!
Tommorow we are going to meet few more symbols of the city and it will be surprise...
See you soon:)

Easter time in Małopolska

Hello,

we spent the Easter time in Małopolska.

We prepared traditional Easter eggs and we striked up with chickens,

which after closer contact turned out to be only made in china decoration,unfortunately.

We also had contact with wild nature.

It was a cat named Tigra.

We went to Klimówka lake, which as all around was white, unfortunately and therefore not very photogenic.

We came back to Wrocław, because spring should appear here faster.

Our second day in Poland

Hello, we still are in Wrocław.
Yesterday we’ve spend all day in Branża Dziecięca. Especially Hans was excited, because he had an opportunity to see, what the editors of trade magazine do at work.

Later we had a chance to prove that we are brave little fellows. We went with our host to the dentist!!!
