Didn't make it to the Saltmines today but its on for first thing tomorrow. I had to go and find a 2 day tourist pass and for some reason nothing happens here until after 10 am. Civilized or what!
I did however make it to 3 museums and saw the Da Vinci Woman with an Ermine - very lovley - lots of old weaponry here. Both Js would love the gigantic swords and jousting equipment that is everywhere. It seems the Polish - Austro Hungarian or whatever this country was called in its many faces - have a lot of very posh armour and battlegear.
Went to Wawel Castle and had a good shufty. Plan is for tomorrow - Salt mine, rest (very important part of day), river cruise and then concert in one of the churches for 20$ - Mozart and a bunch of other rather famous composers. Should be lovely.
I shall no doubt end the day with a glass of something. Have to try the Vodka here.
It has been gorgeous weather - I rather hate discussing weather - its so trite but - its 11 pm and I am in shorts and a t-shirt. Pretty darn good.
Had another donair kebab and couldn't finish it - for $4.50. In the square they tried to charge me 28 zloty for some veggies and mushrooms from a stand - $14 - can't believe the audacity - I sent it back and did much better for myself. Ended the night with a beer across the st from my lovely hostel.
Krakow is so clean! A great place and I shall be sorry to leave - just when I am finding my way around it will be time to go - Berlin or Prague- hmm -train goes to Berlin before Prague - have a day to decide.....catch you later!
