Krakow...

Stardate: Friday September 17

Krakow....more peaceful than Prague...actually i really love Krakow...less touristy, a quiet peace everywhere, a park that surrounds the historic center.   We have great rooms here for 3 nights...bathtub!
We had a short walk last night, most of them went for dinner with our guide, i wasnt that hungry so decided to take a sandwich back to my room and do laundry, have a quiet evening, get re-organized.  Today we walked for about 4 hours on a great tour with a local guide - ALL over Old Krakov.  Saw so much.  Afterwards I went back to the University district and spent some time there...Copernicus, Pope John-Paul spent years there.  Pope John Paul is SO loved here.  I saw the place where he used to live, his home church - a truly beautiful Franciscan church. 

Im finding it pretty easy not to spend a lot of money.   We always get a big breakfast with our room, I usually take a piece of bread and cheese and some fruit from the breakfast buffet - that's lunch.  So it's just dinner i have to pay for and half the time, it's included in the tour.  So spending very little, not being a shopper etc.
Tonight, going to take in a Chopin concert.  I saw one of his piano's at the university today :-)
Tomorrow the Jewish district.   We have a lot of free time in Krakow so im seeing a lotta stuff.
Cheers all!
