We don't have much to report yet. We got up and packed this morning (Tuesday) and caught the 12:30 PM train, which was a half-hour late. The train ride was a little more than 3 hours, so we didn't get in until just before 5:00. We asked about getting a train to Prague and were told that there were no direct trains, so we went looking for the bus station. We purchased two tickets for the Friday morning bus at 8:30 AM. Then, we went looking for the tram into town.
We bought a 48-hour ticket (50% senior discount, we think; the instructions were hard to understand.) We got on a tram that looked like it was going to the center of town, but soon got off when we saw some sign of old buildings. With the help of Google Maps we walked the three blocks into the Old Town square and to our hotel room a few blocks off the square.
After we checked in and got hooked up to WiFi, we went out looking for something to eat (since we'd been on the train during lunch). Lonely Planet recommended a place called STP, which stands for 'Szybko, Tanio, Pysznie' or 'Fast, Cheap, Delicious'. The food is cafeteria style. You fill up your plate and pay by weight. With drinks, dinner for both of us was less than $10. We both found it as advertised.
After dinner, we walked around the square and found two of the Gnomes of Wroclaw. We also found an ice-cream shop and got two gelato cones ($2 for both) and then headed back to bed.
