Mmmm...Salty
... got to the top....really, hilarious stuff!
From there we caught the bus back in to Krakow and headed out to dinner at an Indian restaurant around the corner that we had read good reviews about.

... you're on vacation to relax and have a great time! We then settled into heat of the afternoon crawling up the "flat" hills and racing down the other sides, thus making up for lost time. We stopped to capture the beauty of the pastoral scenes around us. We stopped to photograph a beekeeper tending his multi-color hives and watch a flock of baby ducklings, some twenty in all, who played in a farmyard unperturbed by the farm ...
