WARSAW

Much of Warsaw was destroyed during WW2, but has now been rebuilt - pretty much as it was, and to some extent it is quite difficult to tell that the new buildings and cobblestones have only been there for a few decades.


KRAKOW

Set above the rest of the town is the old town which overlooks the river is the remains of the Old Royal Castle and the impressive Cathedral.




In the newer part of town. I climbed to the top of this tower, at the top was trumpeter who played each hour for a few minutes.











Looking down from the church tower - great view - in the centre was a market and to the right we enjoyed ........ another well deserved coffee and cake.




One of the many street artists that were to be found in most of the towns and cities.







The river Wisla - the longest in Poland runs majestically, we took a stroll along the towpath as it was a warm day, before we headed off South.
