The food in Poland is so good! We have been living on pierogi and kebabs for the past three days, which we have spent in Krakow, along with half of Europe! It has been sooo crowded. We arrived on the train from Warsaw and found our hostel, perfectly located in the centre overlooking the Market Square. Our first day was spent wandering the town, doing some laundry and debating whether to attend a Chopin piano concert. Dave prevailed on that one. We ended up getting kebabs and racing back to the hostel to avoid a brief thunderstorm, then being woken at 4am the next morning by the stag group staying at the hostel.
The next morning we rose early and made our way out to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the trip you really have to do when you are out this way. After taking an hour on the bus to get out there, it took us, due to a combination of roadworks and a broken down car, three hours to get back. That night we ate at this great, and cheap, pierogi place we found off the main sqaure.
The last day we headed up Wawel Hill to wander the castle grounds, took a nice walk by the Vistula, and sat out and had some beers while waiting for our train in the beer tent at the fair that was on by the river.
We are now in pretty little Ljubljiana, Slovenia, which is a haven after the mania of Krakow. We arrived this afternoon having spent Saturday night and most of today on the train. We caught an overnight from Krakow and had to change in Vienna, where we endured an unexplained one hour delay. We are staying in a great place though - we have the entire second floor, kitchen included, to ourselves!
Hope everyone is well.
