Everywhere is so colourful and an unknown artist has put over 200 gnomes around the city, so we went on a little gnome hunt in the little time that we had to browse around (which wasn’t long as our train was 2 hours earlier than we thought. Well, I thought, I’m the one in charge of all that, haha. God knows where we’d be if it was down to Alice.
Our hostel was above a KFC (Mum), and it was actually really nice for £7.50 a night! It was really clean and the beds were super comfy. It was bang next to the Old town Square as well, which is where all of the pretty colourful buildings are.
We browsed around when we got there, trying to find a vegetarian restaurant that our Europe book recommended, but we couldn’t find it (let’s just not mention the fact we found it the next day), so settled with an Italian, because we had no idea what other menus said. Polish isn’t even close to English, so it is so difficult to even try and figure out what words mean. Determined to try something polish though, just in English on a menu, hahaha.
After being kept awake by a man snoring (UGHUGHUGH), we awoke in time to check out and then go to the McCafé for breakfast (mmm chocolate croissant), and go on a gnome hunt.
We have no idea what was going on, but there were loads of groups of children and a huge obstacle course thing in the centre. It looked so cool, I was a bit upset that I couldn’t join in. We even got hugs by a lifesize gnome, how exciting. But yeah, that was really sweet, some of the kids even wore gnome hats.
On the train on the way to Wroclaw, a group of 39 year olds (Nanny) came on the train, they were all English and were travelling Poland. I hope I’m cool at that age too!
Oh, also, there were these really cool statues called the ‘unknown passenger’ which go down into the pavement at a crossing and then come out on the other side of the road – I thought it was really cool! Almost as cool as the gnomes.
P.s. Happy Birthday to my funny little sister xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
P.p.s. A riveting conversation by me and Alice: A: “I want to see a deer” L: “you want a CD?” A: “see a deer” L: “CD?!” A: “deer” L: “D?” A: *laughs* L: “CD? C a D? D a C? C a… SEE! OH! SEE A DEER!”… Nanny coming out right there.
P.p.p.s. Alice had now has a women shout at her in Czech and Polish. Too funny.
