Got up at the unearthly hour of 3.15 this morning. It appeared to be the only way of getting to Wroclaw at a reasonable time. However, the eight hour train trip gave me lots of time to catch some sleep. The trip went perfectly as planned with 4 changes of trains, the last being the picture above. It doesn't do it justice; it was far more decrepit than it looks. Seems Poland hasn't invested much in it's railways.
The hostel is in fact a student dormitory for the 100,000 who attend the universities here during term time.
Going to keep it short because the lack of real sleep is catching up fast. Had a look at the historic town centre which is looking far better now as looked in 1997.

As you can see, the huge town square is quite a sight. Unfortunately, apart from the river walks, this is about all worth seeing. There is just one other thing I was advised to see but that will have to wait till tomorrow evening. D
