The landing in Poland 🇵🇱

After the landing we went on a bus from the plane to the airport and into the security zone. Charlie was able to get a taxi pre booked to get to our hotel.

It was a little weird driving as the people in Poland drive on the other side of the road.

We saw lots of nice houses and old buildings as we went towards our hotel.

We arrived in Krakow and went to our hotel.

Our hotel is:

The room:

It’s really nice.

The bed (it’s 2 twin beds) it looks like a double

We went to find the tourist information centre after we had dumped out stuff, however we found there where a lot of them around.

An example of a journey we made.

On the way we found this snowy square.

More of that square

Cool building in the square after we got what we needed to do done at the tourist information centre we went in search of food. We went to a small supermarket and got some snacks. (They probably didn’t hang around long enough for a picture)

We went out to eat at 6pm ish this is what I had.

I had Salmon and tagliatelle.

The size was huge I managed to eat about half and it was really tasty

Later we went to the bar of the hotel we are staying in and had a few drinks. Charlie had the hot chocolate.

Some really cool lights in the bar.

Tomorrow will be busy as we have a tour booked of the Jewish Quater and breakfast in the hotel.

We found our way to the old town in the middle of Krakow.

St Mary’s Basilica the outside and main entrance

Outside the church.

Inside St Mary’s Basilica

We also visited various sites and museums around the old town of Krakow. We went to the Underground Market under the main square in the old town of Krakow. It was dark and kinda interesting, however there wasn’t any audio in English only Polish which kinda sucked.

The cloth hall indoor market in the main square of the old town

The old cloth hall in the main square

Multi coloured statue in glass case (they where everywhere in Krakow??)

This one is at the Barbican in Krakow. It was a small fort at one end of the old town/main square part of Krakow. We couldn’t go in as it was shut be we saw the outside of it.

The front door of the museum (the building is actually created just for stain glass making and the main painting room and putting together room are both north facing because the light doesn’t change much during the day.
