It is a medieval city full of young people.

Krakow is one of my favorite places on earth. It is a medieval city full of young people. A wonderful, striking combination. Jonathan Carroll

I think this quote actually sums up Krakow really well. It is a really old city with palpable history, but it is full of young vibrant people today.

We've spent the last couple of days wandering round the streets just looking at some of the old buildings

Yesterday we spent a few hours at Wawel castle. The castle was amazing from the outside and the views over Krakow were amazing too. We went and visited a couple of exhibitions and went in a tour of the state rooms. Unfortunately the tour was rather excruciatingly boring, although Jono tried to lighten it up by asking questions about trapdoors and secret passages to the mirth of the other people on the tour and the disapproval of the tour guide!

 

 

 

 

Had to go back to the hotel for an afternoon siesta after that as my legs were VERY tired! We have walked a lot in the last couple of days!

(The view from the hotel window as the sun was setting about 3.30pm, the days are longer than Finland but the sun still sets very early!)
