The rest of the day in Krakow


After the Salt Mine tour, Bartosz took us around town. By comparison to what I had seen in Cardiff and London, his car seemed so huge! It really wasn't, but Poland seemed so much like a typical place I would see back home, by comparison to England.

He knew we would be hungry, so he took us to a food court where we could get what we wanted. I had my first official "Polish" meal from a Greek restaurant! It was delicious - kielbasa, steamed potatoes, and 3 types of cabbage. After that we went to the grocery store. He wanted to pick up some "essentials" before the Pope's visit - Prohibition would be in effect on Friday. This allowed me to peruse the grocery store and see what they had to offer. It didn't take long to find the kielbasa aisle! Jenny also loved the grocery stores and so we were having a ball.

Afterward, Jenny had some work she had to do via computer and I thought it would be a great time to touch base with home - having a computer at hand was another thing I missed! So Bartosz took us to his house, which he shares with his brother and brother's wife - Jenny finished some important projects and I e-mailed and touched base at home. Bartosz cooked us dinner and then we turned in since we were planning a long day on Friday! It was one more night at the "Rainbow" Hostel before we had to change locations.

That's it....we're having fried cabbage for lunch! It's one of those things we both love but never think of. The picture was a reminder. Sorry....she won't have the polish sausage.
