I woke up in the morning in my nice apartment and looked out of the window and it was raining cats and dogs - bad luck I thought and started off it got a bit better until I reached the old castle but after 1 hour I gave up und tested the espresso level in town - after the third espresso I went home to get dry and have a hot shower - I started again in the afternoon when still thick cloudes where up in the sky but after I visited a church suddenly blue sky was visible and the sun came through the clouds - bad luck again as I now tried to get the shots in the sun I missed in the morning - lots of additinal walking - but enjoyable in the sun
The bridge to the old castle or what is left of - pretty run down but there is a sign that they want to rebuilt it in the way it was - good morning disney world
In former times this was a wooden bridge but surely at this time the stairs below were not called stairs of the lovers as they are called today
The former entrance to the Jewish Ghetto
The music school of Grodna
The obligatory war memorial this time with nice flags
The St. Mary's church when I went in and ...
After I came out - what a difference ...
Inside the church
One of the craftsmen houses with the fasade built of stone and the back of wood
The church on university grounds
The Maxim Bodanovich literary house - where this famous Belarusian poet lived in
The Lijamus in Grodna
The former house of the administrator
Right in the middle of the city still old houses can be found looking a bit lost
The Soviet street - now pedestrian zone neetly renovated
Vie to the Franz-Xaver cathedral
Well, the building on the left of the cathedral looks like what it is - a prison - it was once the monastery of the church where monks where kept - now prisoners - slight change but still...
The Franz- Xaver Cathedral in from view
The charptovic palace now a museum
The home of the fire brigade with the former watchtower
And a splendid painting
The brand new restored main Synagoge of Grodna
With the interior completely restored
View from the castle
Over the river to the former franciskus monastery
The stone bridge connecting the old and the new castle
The Kaloza church on the river banks - that is the reason why only parts of it survived - the oldest church in Belarus dating from the 15 th century
And for the end of the day I crossed the bridge to get a snapshot from the other side - with the evening light a truly well invested footwork
The Franciscan monastery
Tomorrow I will go south towards Brest - keep you posted
