Poland, Day 1 (Krakow)

Breakfast was in the hotel crypt again (because it was included with the room, and also very tasty -- though wow, Polish breakfast includes a lot more in the way of savory foods than I'm used to seeing at that time of day), and then it was time to defy jet lag and set forth.

I made a miscalculation in planning this trip, though. I didn't realize that Polish museums, like theatres, are frequently closed on Mondays. As it turned out, this made very little dent in our plans (since there was enough to fill an entire day with regardless), but it was annoying.

( Castles and dragons and caves, oh my! )

So we didn't make it to several things we wanted to see (like other parts of the Wawel, and various museums), but there's a day allocated at the end of the trip for catch-up, so that's fine. We had splendid weather, too -- very nearly the last day of it we were going to get.

But that is a tale for the next few posts.
