Last day in Poland

I don't know when I will get to add another note to this blog so here is the plan for today:

pack up my stuff and head out to the nearby Jewish Cemetary to see what there is to see there. Take some photographs of the streets and life here and try and find a place to buy another photocard.

The hostel will look after my bag for me until later tonight when I head off to catch my train. I would certainly come back here and I actually have spent very little on food and prices have been just fine.

Last night I went to a Milk Bar right in the touristy area of Market Square. Milk bars have been around since the communist era and are plain and simple cafes - dirt cheap. Just before the concert last night I had pieroghi (Ruskie - cheese and potatoes) and it was 5 zloty - $2.50. then I had a waffle and a small glass of Polish beer and that was 11 zloty and that was more than I needed.

its 2.50 zloty on the tram or bus and though you can pay a lot for things I have found a lot of the cafes are quite reasonable even in the touristy areas.

I will be inPrague early tomorrow and have booked a guest house for one night - I will continue with the plan from there....ah the freedom of the road!
