Kraków

[JJ 05/07] Our first footsteps in Krakow took us from a tram station to the old town, one of the first ever selected UNESCO world heritage sites, with pretty pedestrianised streets inside the old city walls and surrounded by a cool circular park aptly named 'planty'. We found our hostel: Greg & Tom hostel and immediately tucked into some dinner on the romantic little balcony, narrowly avoiding a barrage of rain.

After I had a short passport misplacing scare, we then went on a voyage to the local Carrefour and enjoyed the wonders of the Polish language, which is reminiscent of if you've ever smashed your head onto a keyboard. We were first tickled by 'Chleb', Polish for bread, before rediscovering the holy grail of confectionery treats: Plopps! Or at least their Polish cousins with debateably an even better name: BUM boomki! Listen to that sweet pop 😩

We ended the night by making some Chlebwiches for our trip to Auschwitz tomorrow
