This afternoon, we had a very well informed walking tour with a knowledgeable guide named Doroto (Dorothy). We started at the Florian Gate- named for ST. Florian the patron Saint Krakow. This is one of the last remnants of the wall that is still remaining.
We went through the Old Town and ended at Wawel Castle where all the original Kings were buried. I'll have to go back for a separate tour and explore the Crypt and the upper rooms of the tower.
It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining. After the tour I ran back to the flat to pay the owner the rental fee. Mom and Dad took a wrong turn and ended up lost, but called the apartment owner who ordered them a cab ride back. Mom did quite well despite her limitations with her healing foot. This was the first time she had worn a tennis shoe.
Tommorow is another day... we have plans to visit the mountains in Zakopane and also the Salt mines and maybe Aushwitz. I have to make time to go to the archive building on Monday or Tuesday.
