Out of Time in Lviv

Our last day in Lviv as we catch a train just before midnight. There is still so much to see and do!
We visited the 5th Cathedral this morning, the Greek Catholic Cathedral of St. George.  It was a long walk especially when we took the indirect route but we could hardly leave 1 cathedral unvisited.

On the way, we called in to the Potocki Palace but unfortunately we could only take photos from the outside as it was closed. It is certainly large and impressive.  En route we stopped and bought local delicacies and more before we came back which we enjoyed for lunch. 

We holed up in our room for a while this afternoon due to heavy rain but when it cleared, we visited the Benedictine Monastery.  Unfortunately it is not open for visitors but we were able to take some photos through windows. 

We also saw lots of interesting statues and found many interesting little shops.  Ukraine has specialist stocking shops and yes, Cinderella bought some.

 Yes it is raining as we visit the palace.

I wondered where I got my shoe fetish from. No, not really :-)
