• Day 72 POLAND Lower Silesia Castles

    May 29 in Poland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    We left early for our very long drive to our castle stay at Zamek Karpniki.

    On the way we stopped at Zamek Moszna castle. It is built in 3 distinct chronological stages late 1800s to 1900s. It had 99 turrets, 365 rooms built in Baroque, Neo Gothic and Neo Renaissance Style.

    Our next stop was a Lutheran Church of Peace. It is the most ornate Lutheran church we've come across. Not very peaceful though because there was a looped narration in German played over and over. Also lots of wires and musicians setting up. Not a place for quiet contemplation.

    Our castle has a small spa but the steam room was under repair so there was only the Finnish sauna and a thermal spring hot tub. Also included in our package was a 4 course surprise meal. It was surprisingly delicious.

    For 3 days in Krakow, we had Thai, Indian and Japanese. We did not have any Polish food in Krakow except for a snack of perogis (dumplings).  We have found that Polish food had not matched up to what we've gotten used to in Romania. We will give the cuisine here another chance, but it has high standards to meet and huge boots to fill after Romania.
