Hello Poland

Poland has been a very adorable fun area. We started off on our eight hour adventure by train and learned that our connection was cancelled. We then took a later train only to find it was overbooked so we had to stand, in the tight aisle against the window, the entire four hours. It was a pain in the butt! I must say standing that long really was a pain with bugs and wind in my face but at least we got to Poland on a sunny day! It was the first sunny day we have had since we got to Europe. Vanessa and I got so bored just standing their so we turned up our ipods and had our own mini dance party. We are now professional train dancers. haha. It actually was pretty fun, however I don't think the people around us felt the same but eh they had trolly cars to sit in. We got to our hostel and then headed to dinner. Some traditional polish food thing, I don't know what it was called but it was way good! We then went to bed early, I know we are party poopers. haha.

This morning we hit the beautiful town of Krakow. We started with a guided tour (nothing new there. lol) but saw some amazing king tombs, churches, and gardens. We had a delicious soup and pork lunch and then toured the Jewish ghetto. After we did what we do best, shopping! haha. I loved all the street vendor shops and outdoor markets, that is basically the entire center square. Best part is everything is cheap! It started raining on us, no surprise so we headed to a bakery and enjoyed a few treats there. Fingers still crossed we will be able to tour Auschwitz in the morning.
