Had a better look around Wroclav today. The river Odra splits into several channels near the old centre of the town which creates a rather nice waterworld. Its here that the cathedral can be found.

Apart from the various religious establishments abounding on this island area, there is another one of those metal structures, this time a bridge, which is used by lovers declaring their eternal love. The padlocks are numerous and if it continues like this the structural engineers might have to be called in. I dont remember where this phenomena began, perhaps Paris? Anyone know?
However, a much more picturesque view is of a disused lock connecting different parts of the river.

Before getting to the historic centre, I came across a fantastic indoor market. Not a huge one, but still interesting enough to keep me occupied for half an hour. The Poles seem to like their flowers.
And then a to give the bigger picture. BTW. excellent cheap no nonsense food in a small cafe here.
And finally, another one of those churches appears in the high windows of the market.
I naturally gravitated back to the old town square, or squares, because there isn't just one clearly defined. Maybe it was once one very large square until they found it necessary to expand the town inwards.

| A very typical student dormitory. Of course its perfect for this summer use. Rooms are small and there are many, so I have a room to myself for the 2 nights here. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg either. |
