Krakow with a population of just under 1 million is one of Poland's most important cities. It was the capital of Poland until Krakow's political and economic importance began to decline at the end of the 1500's. In 1596, King Sigismund III moved the capital to Warsaw, but Krakow has maintained political and economic relevance throughout the centuries. The city managed to survive World War II with limited damage compared to Warsaw.

Krakow is a beautiful city with a wonderful old town square. If you are looking to buy amber Krakow will have it. The market in the old town square has every size, shape and price of amber you can imagine.

Krakow has many intersting sites including the castle on Wawel Hill, Kazimierz - the old Jewish quarter, which was also where some scenes from the film Schindler's List were filmed, and not far away the amazing Wieliczka Salt Mines.

Today we had a picnic at Zakrzowek, which used to be a quarry, but now is just some cliffs with an extremely nice view of Krakow on one side, and a lake to the other.

We arrived at a small kiosk set up in the middle of a tiny piazza. The kiosk was unremarkable except for the fact that there was a hug...

I've just checked in in our hostel after walking so many miles. And what did I do? Ran to the computer of course! I sent two SMS to Wayne and he did not reply though he told me to ring him, he was supposed to see me at the station. I think I saw him though on the streets with a green shirt and some shorts but I did not approach him. Could be him, could be not. So I decided to look for the hostel and went straight there as I do not feel like I can not rely on that dude. Finally found th...
