Arriving in Kraków, Poland

Today, we took the 7-hour train ride to Kraków, Poland. We arrived later in the evening, so not much sightseeing was done.

One of the first things we did after we got settled in was go out to dinner. I ordered 2 traditional Polish dishes, beetroot soup, and smoked cheese. I really enjoyed the beetroot soup, it was very light and had beef dumplings (which I did not enjoy) in it. The cheese wasn't my favorite, I think because of the smoked flavor, but I'm glad I tried it.

After dinner, we went exploring and wandering the beautiful streets. We came across the main square in town and spent quite a bit of time there. There was a covered market, live music, street artists, and an absurd number of pigeons, which I guess Kraków is known for.Read more
