Cracow

Bye mountains - hello city!

After 5 days of fresh air in the mountains we went back to the interior of the country. We went with the Flixbus to Cracow. The trip started quite adventurously, because the bus didn't show up at first, then we got a text message that it was delayed and so we went to Krakow much later than originally planned. On the two hour bus ride we got the "pleasure" of driving in Poland. Because the participants in the road traffic (whether car, bus or motorcycle) cut themselves off gladly and regularly the way that our bus driver always had to brake really sharply. During this bus trip Tomek and I decided to take the train for our further trip in Poland in the future. In Krakow we had 1.5 days with Ulli before her return flight to Germany. So we tried to see quite a lot of the city on the first evening. We went to Rynek Główny, the old market place of Krakow with the old cloth halls, where music was played and some small stalls were set up. But we were so exhaused that we only walked to Wawel Castle and postponed the rest of the city until the next day.

The next morning we left right after breakfast to explore Krakow before Ullis flight. We walked through Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter of Krakow and strolled through the city. Krakow is really beautiful! But the coolest thing was that exactly on that weekend the 18th Pierogi Festival took place at the market. So we could taste many sweet and savory dumplings.

Then, after a great week, we had to say goodbye to Ulli, so Tomek and I when by our own again.

However, the two of us did not stay much longer in Krakow, because the next day we went on to Katowice!
