34. Krakow Poland

Krakow Poland is apparently a more visited destination in Poland than its capital Warsaw, largely due to the location of Auschwitz, which generates a lot of tourist attention.

Craig had prearranged train travel and hotels for our western Europe travel earlier in this trip, but not for Eastern/ Central Europe, thinking there would be fewer tourists here and more travel availability & options.

Think again. We could not find an available train from Prague to Krakow or Warsaw for days, so we had to grab an 11 hour bus ride to Krakow. Long trip, poor a/c and no phone charging outlets. Ugh. Live & learn.

We really needed a bit of a break from the pace of our travel, so, outside of a tour to Auschwitz, we didn't do too much else before departing. Auschwitz posted separately.Läs mer
