So we're on the go again and they s time both the destination and scope of our trip are more modest. Or annual inter-semester break has brought us to Poland's cultural capital, Kraków.
As you might expect, Poland in January is not warm, in fact it's currently minus 10, snowing and thus more than a little chilly outside. Still, the city has impressed. It strikes us as a cross between Prague and Bath, with a little flavour of St. Petersburg, although slightly more medieval.
The days have been spent enjoying the views whilst darting between heated buildings. That is aside from the two hour walking tour which our fingers and toes were not pleased to be a part of. In all this we have discovered functional and incredibly filling polish food, amazing hot chocolate (served in grams not ml and really just warm fluid chocolate in a cup), and polish jazz.
Tomorrow is set to be difficult. Not the early morning, not the hour and a half bus ride and not even the continuing sub-zero temperatures. No, tomorrow takes us to one of mankind's greates shames: Auschwitz.
