Winter trip : Wroclaw

That's where I bought gloves and cap.
Leprechaun performing pole dance

Even Bata was there (It's an Italian brand though~)


My favourite store : H&M

The road to the old town(ul. Swidnicka), that's where all the stores were situated~

Tatuum


Pierre Cardin

Diesel

Terranova

KFC - almost 2 days we've been eating because we're living just above it LOL.

Restaurant Jadka, the only world class we've been to.

...and we ordered this "Pierogi" with duck meat, *slurp~*


Ostrov Tumski - Island of Churches









Another kind of Pierogi but it's with cottage cheese, urgh~

in KFC, hihi~~~



















Wroclaw was built on 12 islands, surrounded by rivers and canals. There are 127 bridges within the city and only Venice, Amsterdam and St Petersburg can beat. Wroclaw is certainly not in the list of many people while visiting Poland, but it's worthwhile to explore around, especially the Ostrov Tumski (Island of Churches).

The weather was moderately windy and cold, but it didn't stop us from going around the beautiful city. We arrived the city at 1 am and there's no one to ask for direction. Luckily we hailed a taxi which refused to give us a ride because the place we're staying was just of walking distance. A kind man he was.

We stayed in Nathan's Villa which was on top of KFC. It's amongst one of the best hostel I've slept in.

It's the first city that we splurged because things were sooooooooooooo cheap!!! That's where I started my shopping spree~

Some say that if Krakow would be the 2nd Prague, then Wroclaw would be the 2nd Krakow. But personally, I count them backwards. Wroclaw-Krakow-Prague :):):):):)

I din realise tht Bata is an italian brand though until..

The pierogi with cheese was tasty at first but turned disgusting after the 3rd or 4th piece. I preferred the pierogi with salmon and duckmeat.
It's a cap, it's a decent warm cap. Arghhhh!!!!~~~~~

Wroclaw looks wonderful. Maybe it's your choice of pics but it looks a little more relaxed than Krakow and as beautiful. Made me miss home and the harsh environment back there in the north :S Miss the snow.

Kochi said...

Yeah indeed Wroclaw's pretty and it's one of my favourite destination so far. I went back to Krakow too during this trip and it was nothing after seeing Wroclaw's beauty. LOL
I never thought that Finland would have such few snow like in Wroclaw. Perhaps you should see what's happening in Russia now and it's snow precipitation. You can also see people dancing on slippery sidewalks. HAHAHA
Let's go snowboarding Henri!!!
