Day 75 POLAND Wroclaw

A quick visit to the Tagowa Markethall for coffee and breakfast off a shared focaccia sandwich before we joined the free walking tour of the Old Town.
The guide told us a good way to remember the pronunciation of Wroclaw is "what's love" but with a rrwhatslove.
The tour was very informative and with good history of Wroclaw. Interestingly enough, Wroclaw had been a German city until 1945. Wroclaw was not part of the second republic of Poland from 1918-1939. There is essentially only 2 generations of Polish people that were moved in after the Germans were moved out.

We did the Dwarf and Communist tour in the afternoon. We expected more communist aspect but the dwarfs dominated the tour. Wroclaw has a mascot of dwarfs. The first dwarf commemorated the anti-communism Orange Alternative Movement . The idea took on, and now there are dwarfs for every reason. At the last count, there were over 1300 dwarfs in Wroclaw and now in other European countries and even in Washington DC.

We finished our day with a wonderful dinner at Ida Kuchnia i wino, a Michelin bib restaurant.Read more
