Krakow, Poland 2/5/10

The sun shines on Krakow! No, really it does. This is the warmest and sunniest it’s been since I’ve been in Europe. This is also the most relieved I’ve been that we made it. This city is actually pretty decent for its small size. There are a fair amount of sights that we took in for the rest of the day after arriving. The buildings resemble those seen in most WWII era films that take place in Europe. One of the sights we saw was this dragon statue that breathed fire by the river in accordance with a local legend. Very hyped by our hostel, but a waste of time for the most part. There are many trolleys here as well, but they aren’t that modern. Slim, enclosed and entirely different from those in The Bourne Supremacy in Berlin as well as SF.

Our hostel Greg & Tom’s Junior Hostel is one of the best (out of two so far) that I’ve been to. Affordable rates and very modern (12.50 € a night). Multiple flat screen TVs in the lounge with movies and videogames (Wii, PS3). The shower even has a built in radio and seat with many hoses; too many buttons and complications for me personally, but quite nifty. I don’t recall how Katie S. found this place while researching, but props.

Win. I’m more organized than most of the girls I’m staying with by the way.
