Shopping and Chopin

Coffee time with George who arrived last night, waking up to Wawsaw!

First stop the Bakery (local) to pocket our sandwiches for our morning trip to the “outlet mall” – we didn’t buy cakes and the boys were really excited about the shopping expedition….

The entrance to the mall after another very reasonable Bolt(Uber) ride!

So to spare my readers the agony – shoes, shorts and T-shirt’s …. done and dusted in a couple of hours, sandwiches eaten and back home for a small rest before the afternoon excursion.

Resting en route to old town before the hill climb, and checking out the cricket score! Half way up the hill, it was victory for the black caps in the World Cup semi final.

Poland’s got talent was happening at the top of the hill with lots of music and auditions underway!

A glimpse inside the church housing the hearts of renowned Polish people

And behind this plaque herein lies the heart of Frederick Chopin.

Now we turn our attention to the street entertainment happening in the old city evening.

Two girls singing and playing harp like instruments. The polish language sounding very lyrical.

The tradies hard at work laying a new paved road..one to lift, one to lay and one to hammer into place.

Flowers flourishing in the cooler polish summer, and rain.

A couple of girls in costume – century unknown.

This young man Playing his tiny piano and really enjoying his life…I think!

A couple of tourists using their imagination….A father/son moment!

And a husband/wife moment in the middle of Old Town.

And the tall monument dwarfing George – not much dwarfs George – in old European towns thing are just high.

Finished the evening off with a meal at an, off the beaten track, well rated restaurant….

Zwierzyniec Beer, halibut, pork and peas, risotto! The ratings on the food were correct, delicious food. And just so we will write a good review on TripAdvisor, our waiter Simon bought out complementary flavoured vodka shots! Whilst we were eating our dinner a couple of accordion playing street vendors came past and George shared our bread with them.

Russ really enjoyed them!
