Well that was an experience!  The train car has an attendant and we have a chain to lock the door from the inside, so no worries of being robbed.  At times we are not moving.  They drop cars along the way, (at stations I assume, as we didn’t look out the windows) so other trains pick them up depending on where the occupants are travelling to.  Then next thing you know we are on our way again.

 

It is a beautiful morning in the Krakow Old Town.  We have arrived at 7AM.  Not your usual check in time 🙂

 

 

 

It takes us a bit to figure out where we are going, but are able to drop of our bags off and head out to see the city.

 

 

We gather in the square next to St.Mary’s church and locate the Free Krakow tour guides.  Off we go at 10.  Our tour guide is knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor.  A Pole named Damien, like the movie the Omen he doesn’t fail to mention.

The quiet Krakow we met this morning is becoming very crowded with tourists.  We get to the end of our 2.5 tour and find an little spot we noticed on our tour for lunch.  We both had great salads.

We head back to check into our “apartment” and discover that it has a shared fridge and microwave in the hall.  A few dishes and an electric kettle.  Not the great amenities that we had in Prague.  Oh well.

As we had a very choppy sleep on the train, we crash for a couple of hours.  As we leave, we see several VERY intoxicated people on the street outside of our place.  Hmmm could be an interesting night!

The center of town is setup as a market that I assume is a full time thing.  Lots of food and drink stalls as well as almost anything else you would like to buy.  Lace, wooden carvings, souvenirs.  A bustling place.

 

 

We stroll around looking at menus, trying to decide on dinner.  The streets are a lot less crowded than they were earlier.  I suspect that a lot of those people are day trippers and have now left on their buses.  We decide on perogies and of course beer!

 

 

We enjoy a stroll around old town.
