Great dinner in the garden!

Hotel Gołębiewski

Fab afternoon in the Tropicana Water Park, inc. going down the shutes and sitting in the different-flavoured saunas.  Followed by bowls (in the avatars of Angelina, Mlody, Rodion and Nikita) and billiards (I am probably the worst billiard-player in the world).

Curious Mixture

Odd morning, in which we set off to the market at Kalviejska ul. in search of antiques and caviar and found sunglasses and underwear.  We came back by bus and took a brief look at the orthodox cathedral, św. Mikołaja, where a service was in progress.  Nice lunch in the Rynek and we then vainly tried to find the plaque marking destruction of the former ghetto.  We strolled back to the hotel through the grounds of the Branicki Palace.

Św. Mikołaja

Having seen fireworks yesterday, today we caught sight of a procession led by a marching band.  There were Solidarity flags everywhere.  It seems that this is an anniversary of a strike in the Białystok region 30 years ago.

Fireworks

Last night was rounded off by an amazing fireworks display over  Kościoł św. Roku - we had a perfect view from our hotel window.  Yay!  Białystok rocks!
