Poles apart
... on the backpacker trail after. Various communist tours are on offer throughout town, profiting from the myth that this place has any remnant of soviet style remaining. Arriving into Krakow on pilgrimage to Auschwitz must be confusing for survivors and their relatives. The two places are only an hour apart, but the crazy vodka crawl of Krakow sits in contrast to the haunting experience at the former extermination camp. I won't ...

The party city and a sobering day
Leaving Olomouc early in the morning, we spent the first half of the day on trains (our new second home), making our way to Poland to visit the southern city of Krakow. The train journeys were fairly uneventful, although on the second train all seats were reserved and we found ourselves standing in the tiny corridor outside the compartments juggling our giant packs for about an hour. This would have been ok except for the regular food trolley being toted up the ...
