We begin our stroll around the islands...
A monastery on the back side of the cathedral.
More of those Wrocław dwarves are spotted along the water channel.

We then grabbed a tram and headed about 20 minutes ESE to Centennial Hall.
Iglica is a 90 meter needle-like monument built in 1948 by Polish Communists.
The Centennial Hall was constructed in 1911–1913, when the city was part of the German Empire. Architect Max Berg designed Centennial Hall to serve as a multifunctional structure to host "exhibitions, concerts, theatrical and opera performances, and sporting events". The hall continues to be used for sporting events, business summits, and concerts.
Time for beer...
...and now back in the old city center...Old City Hall on the left below.

And then we find another brewery on the city square to end the day.
