Wed May 22 - 23:50 (Krakow)

Once our train go into Krakow, we got our train tickets to come back on Friday. We found our hostel outside the moat and it turns out we booked an apartment hostel inside the city center.

It was right next to the city square and we got a great deal, $100 for both of us for both nights. We got settles and walked around the whole city center. We saw the church in the city square and a bunch of very old buildings.

After pizza for lunch, we ate some gelato. We bought tickets for the Salt mines for tomorrow morning, and after we get back, we are going to the Jewish district and the castle in Krakow.
I was proud of Ricky because for dinner we had sushi! It is the latest food craze in Poland. He had spicy tuna and grilled salmon sushi. I had a mango california roll and a shrimp & avocado roll. I was glad to hear that Ricky actually enjoyed it.

At 22:00 we got a beer in a beer garden before retiring for the evening since our tour leaves at 10 am.
Krakow is a very beautiful city with a lot of night life and young people. Similar but also very different than Warsaw. Krakow is much more artsy and less business oriented. The city square had tons of venders selling everything from drawings, paintings, wooden pieces (like wooden boxes), chess sets, clothing, and amber jewelry, which is a big market in Poland (since they have a lot of amber in the region). At night, lights are thrown on old important buildings and give the city a great atmosphere.

People of all ages are visiting, but young people are the majority. Even more so at night.
