Supper By Krakow Castle
I had supper at a restaurant called Pod Baranem, that I’d found with Google.
It was excelklent and so was the Cydr Lubelski
Krakow Castle
I didn’t visit Krakow Castle, but as I walked round it before my supper I took these pictures.
It certainly is impressive and I’ll have a proper look next time I go to the city.
Cydr Lubelski In Krakow
Just sat down to supper with a bottle of Polish cider. Excellent and only 4.5% alcohol. I didn’t know they brewed it.
Along The River Vistula
I took a tram and went down to the river Vistula, where I walked along the bank and took another tram to Krakow Castle.
As the Vistula also flows through Warsaw, I wonder if it is possible to take a ferry between the two cities.
An Event In Krakov
As I walked back to the hotel after lunch, it appeared an event was about to take place in the main square.
My timing was wrong to wait, so I didn’t see any action.
An Almost Vegetarian Lunch At Chimera In Krakow
I found Chimera in the pocket guide of Krakow I took with me.
There is some tuna in the salad, but for vegetarians, that is of course optional.
It is well worth a visit, as this review in Trip Advisor says.
As to location, the restaurant is just a short walk from Rynek Główny.
An Excursion To Nowa Huta
Nowa Huta literally means the New Steel Mill and was originally built by the Soviet Union. Because of the town’s history, and the part it and the nearby Lenin Steelworks, played in the removal of the Soviet Union’s hold over Poland, I just had to go and have a look.
I took a tram from Rondo Mogilskie and it was a pleasant ride to the Easternmost area of Krakow. I then had a stroll in a park and caught the trams back to the centre.
A Morning In Krakow
I walked up to the train station and bought my tickets for Prague first thing and then I walked around Rynek Główny and did a bit of exploring on the trams.
Krakow is one of those cities with quite a lot to see early in the morning.
Finding Trains All Over Europe
I’m in Krakow and need to get my train times for Prague for tomorrow. I’ve found that bahn.de on a mobile gives access to a simple site, which can find the trains between any two places in Europe. It jusy havr me a realistic route from Madrid to Manchester. It would have enabled me to do the trip, just by going to the named stations and buying tickets. The only German you need is to remember bahn as all the rest even the place names are English, if you want it that way.
No hasle.
