After an all nighter on the streets of Berlin, 100 year old Polish train cars are not something anyone should be made to face.
The train journey to Krakow was long and arduous. Let’s be honest, Poland can be something of a downer. The country is largely a memorial to WWII and it can hang a bit heavy. I went to Poland with high hopes of a beautiful language and a beautiful people, and was met with neither. Justin fared all right, but it about killed Houda. I’ll try not to spend too much time whining about my time spent there and just give you the highlights in the form of a quick list and some pictoral highlights.
- Do not try to ride public transit without buying a ticket. It can go very badly.
- Do go to the Wieliczka Salt Mines near Krakow.
- Stay in the city center, you will save time and money.
- When the locals head for cover, do the same. Rainstorms are no joke.
- Don’t spend too much time or money on the castle.
- Find a local to help you get involved. There are good things happenings if you know where to look.
- If you aren’t feeling it, then just get the hell out.
