Poland- Day 2 - Krakow

It was lovely waking at 430AM that morning, both Emilia and I were able to do it.  Brian, not as much, and he woke to us staring at him with our backpacks almost already packed ;P.

These are the prime seats ;)

Map of the old town.

In this town there is a bugler that plays but stops suddenly, to follow in the original's foot steps, for the original was shot with an arrow while playing {story told by Emily....but better}

Cathedral of Krakow

In a random little chapel on the street.

Dominican Church in the Old Town

Castle!!

Dragon under Wawel Castle.  It was said that it would go out and kill the young maidens of the village, until only the daughter of the king remained.  The king offered his daughter's hand in marriage to anyone who could kill the dragon.  Many tried and failed, but then a cobbler took a sheep and filled it with sulfur and put it outside the lair.  The dragon ate it and became very thirsty, it went to the river and drank and drank until it exploded, and the cobbler won the hand of the king's daughter.

We got the picture with the dragon!

....and went to eat in it's lair, and the prices were nice!!

Jewish sector of Krakow.

Where JPII stayed when in Poland.

We were then hustled into a restaurant, but it ended up being very nice, and lots of food for cheap!!

We then headed to the bus to go to Łódź and get picked up by Emilia's family!  On to more of the Poland chronicles!
