Getting to the net in Poland has been a royal pain and hence theres been no update for a while. I hope to make up for it now. I'm taking a different approach and just putting up a heap of photos. I'll fill you in on the details when i get home. For now, enjoy the sights of Poland...

Krakow at night
Here we have the main church in Krakow, called Kosciol Mariacki, which stands in the main square.

Krakow Ratusz
Erm, probably the Council building in English

View onto Vavel
Vavel was the home of Polish kings for centuries and was moved to Warsaw only because half the castle burnt down in the 17th century

the most gorgeous suburb of Krakow, where many old pre-war villas still stand. it's an incredible spot!

The most comfortable steps in all of Europe
After some 8 hrs of trekking around Krakow, including up to the Memorial Mound of Kosciuszki (just past the steps), we sat on these marvelous steps for a couple of hours before we made it home...

Beautiful Polish cemetaries
The oldest cemetary in Krakow, where many important Poles are buried, and which really looks like a park

Right near Krakow

Visla from another angle
The convent in Tyniec where the previous photo was taken is in the top right hand corner. Incredible location...

Quite possibly the oldest pub in Poland
Right underneath the Wroclaw Ratusz, it has been visited by Polish kings and queens, as well as more recent celebrities such as Chopin

The perfect Lunch
Beer and rye bread with lard and bacon

Church in Wroclaw
With churches this gorgeous around every corner, i'm starting to understand why 95% of this coutnry claim to be Catholic
