Travel and Transformers

Our train to Warsaw was leaving at 10am today, so it was up earlyish and onto the platform for the 3 hour journey. Some of the trains we have been using have been less than desirable to say the least, but this train was NIIIICE, plus we had the carriage all to ourselves, so it was even more...

City castle and charades with a non English speaking Polish hair dresser

After a bit of a sleep in we made our way into the old town square for some breakfast, which was all well and good, however it was now after lunch, so finding some where that did a breakfast menu was proving impossible. We trudged along and eventually gave up any hope of finding any little...

Krakow! Stunning!

What a stunning city! I thought I had seen some good places, but this one tops all of them... Krakow is over 1000 years old, and it was Poland's old capital. Looking at the place it surprises me that is not currently, but according to legend, Hitler forbade the destruction of the city and...
