Swidnica - May 25

Slightly delayed following our hiking adventure, we arrived late Thursday afternoon in Swidnica. Swidnica is very famous because it houses the Church of Peace, which we visited along with the Cathedral. Both churches were very ornate. We walked through the town on a tour. Ann and I especially enjoyed visiting with Hanna, the daughter of one of the Rotarians.

After the Swidnica Rotary Club meeting where we got to know some of the members better, one member, Jacek, took us on a ride to see the Swidnica hospital which was impressively modern and nice and the Siaz Castle, one of the largest in Poland. It was dark and we couldn't see much of the castle, but we did get to see a sword-fight reenactment in which the swords were on fire!
