Białystok to Kraków

---

We left on the 0915 train to Warsaw. It was a relaxing journey down south, with a simple change at Warsaw Wschodnia (East). More tricky was negotiating our way out of Kraków’s main station which is chaotic with the rebuilding going on, buses and cars trying to squeeze there way onto the narrow streets. We got a fair share of particulates, Carbon Monoxide and polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons therefore as we made our way towards Warszawska street and our friend’s office - it’s much better if you go straight into the Old Town.

We used to live in Kraków, we lived there 3 years until 1997. So a fair bit has changed since then. After visiting Wega (a vegetarian place on ul. Westerplatte - excellent salads!), we got a lift with our friend to her new flat near Skała Twardowskiego, in the south west of the city. And very nice it is too, on the edge of a nature reserve which is the site of an old limestone quarry.
