I believe that Wroclaw has perfected the ambience factor of cafes and bars that America has been trying to grasp for years....they make it seem like it was effortless to throw together vintage furniture, warm colored walls, dim lighting, and urban art and photos with deliciousness...paulaner beer or cappuccinos and chocolates.
Then they have their town square... a big open space of people and energy, overpriced food and historic buildings. Wroclaw has been called the Venice of Poland though i would never claim such a thing. The similarity is the bridge idea. Wroclaw has 112 bridges connecting 12 islands that make up the town. Of course the bridges are adorable and all different than the others. I think it was smart to be there during the fall because it was sooo beautiful and we enjoyed the leaves and cool air.
My only complaint is finding Tram 22. People act like its so easy to find and they point to some vague direction and look at you like your stupid. In reality this tram is sometimes invisible and other times tucked behind and under giant buildings. And taxi drivers can choose to not take you places which makes getting around....if you are lydia and me... a little challenging.
FOr some reason my blog wont upload any other photos besides this one, so you can look at my facebook page to see more photos of wroclaw. sorry..
