Day 78 POLAND Poznan

We joined a walking tour of Old Town that took us from Freedom Square to the Old Town Square and finished at the Jesuit Church Basilica Minor and college.

As the Jesuits wanted to make the church opulent and magnificent on a budget, they painted columns and walls to look like marble and the dome was also painted and not a structural one.
The highlight of the tour was at 12pm, a lone trumperter plays the anthem of Poland and 2 billy goats emerge from the Old Town Hall clock and head butts 12 times. It happened again at 3pm but the goats are only programmed to head butt 12 times.
There were baskers, Winnie the Pooh, and even ballerina basking in the Old Town Square.

We then walked to Cathedral Island and at a village over the bridge from Cathedral Island, we saw a mural that had such a 3 dimensional effect that it looked like the building though it was painted on a flat wall.

We finished with another Michelin bib restaurant Fromazeria. Delicious flavours.Read more
