The trumpeter sounds out from high above as we exit the Cloth Market into Rynek Glowny, the town square of Krakow, Poland. He plays his anthem as he does each hour of the day. It is loud and clear and filled with melancholy. He stops his tune abruptly part way through a note. It pays homage to the ancient trumpeter who, as the legend goes, was shot while warning the town that Tatar armies had gath... Read Full Entry

In July of 2011, we made the decision to leave our comfortable jobs in Northern California to see the world. We weren’t sure where we were going to go or how long we would be gone, but we wanted an adventure and we knew we could find it if we looked carefully enough. We would travel slowly, staying in cities and towns for longer periods than most tourists have time for. Hopefully, it would give us an opportunity to observe local life in a unique way. In June of 2019, we completed our 8th consecutive year of travel. We visited 53 countries on 4 continents and travelled for 2873 straight da... full info

A Perfect Place in Any Season!
I so agree that Krakow is fabulous! I spent a couple of snowy weeks there over Christmas and New Year's when a colorful Christmas market drew bundled-up crowds to the huge square. It sounds as if the Polish people celebrate all the seasons in this incredibly beautiful and well-preserved medieval city. Your evocative words, lovely adventures and brilliant photos transported me back to this magical town. Pierogis forever!

Pierogis...
I had no idea how many types of Pierogis there were until we got here. Hard to pick a favorite. They may have replaced tortellini and ravioli in our diet. Yum. ;)Thanks for commenting, Tara!

One of the nicest places we have visited in our journey so far
Wow, that is some statement coming from you. I like the looks of Wawel Castle. Our niece is married to a wonderful man from Poland and we are eager to go visit. Thanks for sharing your impressions and photos.

One of the nicest...
We had a very nice apartment with a beautiful view of the castle. The prices were excellent and we felt like we could relax about budgets for a change. It is a physically attractive place also (think Prague or Budapest). We highly recommend! Thanks for reading!

Poland - not to be missed
You wrote "I don’t think Poland is high on the list of most travelers’ itineraries, but it should be." We say exactly the same thing to people whenever we have the chance. Poland is sadly underrated as a travel destination. It is cheap, the food is good, travel is easy and safe and there is heaps to see and to do. /Ake

Poland...
I'm surprised I didn't see more backpackers! I would think with the prices of Italy-France-England that lots of people would be touring here. We are in Ukraine now, which is harder to travel in but VERY inexpensive. Thanks for writing!

Thanks!
Thanks for the nice compliment on the pictures. We have now been travelling (slowly) for almost 5 years straight and we have visited 28 countries. We have a hard time keeping up with all the blogs we follow also. Better late than never though! Thanks for the nice comment. We appreciate it!
