Boomerang Apartments Krakow

yesterday I was unable to post anything because we did two tours. One was to Oswiecim or Auschwitz and then in the afternoon went to the salt mine. As we got back rather late, still had dinner to eat and then some business to attend to regarding a house we are hoping to purchase, just couldn't get back to the Internet in time to add anything. I ...

Bike Tour of Krakow We walked our way to the Adam Markowitz statue in the market square of Krakow - he was a legendary Poet in these parts and they built a statue smack bang in the middle of the square to honour him - similar to the Burke and Wills Statue in Melbourne re position. We met Michael our Bike Tour Guide and we waited for the Trumpete...

Aaaaaaah, Poland!! Another life long dream realized :) It was a wonderful weekend...quite a lot different to what I expected and imagined, but it has it's charms!! My friend and I left on Thursday morning (very early start!!) and flew into Warsaw. I felt like we'd gone back in time...Polish isn't the easiest language to grasp, and especially whe...

You are probably all wondering what my title is about. I had a great visit in Poznan. I was within a few blocks of the Old Town Square. I did my tour of the town when I arrived.

Its town square, measuring approximately 200 yards by 200 yards, is the largest medieval town square in the whole of Europe. We missed the Wawel Hill/Castle. We tried to visit the Jewish cementeries, but there were either inacces...

From Budapest we travelled through Slovakia, stopping in Banska Bystrica, before crossing into Poland. Krakow was our first stop and again we got to enjoy a beautiful city, rich with history. Krakow was actually founded as a fortress in about 700 AD and then became the capital of Poland in the 12th century. According to legend the city was foun...

So I am back to Krakow again. Last time I visited it was in winter, 2 weeks before Christmas. The temperature was low (about minus 3) but the city still beautiful. And its Chrsitmas Market is full of fun. (see http://travel.saricie.com/Eurotrip_Wint er/Krakow.htm for pictures) Due to that last visit was short (and the day is even shorter, it tur...
