krakow.

oh krakow, what a beautiful city! it's definitely in my top 3 cities in poland. 

sam and i set off for krakow by train, from wroclaw. in total the trip was around 6 hours, but i have since been told that you can get there in almost half the time if you drive or take the bus... doesn't make sense, seeing as i usually associate trains as being a lot quicker, but apparently the polish train system sucks, and is far from efficient. but alas, i do not regret the train trip because we got to see a completely different polish countryside, free from cars and roads. 

as you will see in the next photos, our first few days in krakow were a little gloomy, and even chilly. but the city is so stunning, that it really didn't matter.

sculpture in the centre square.

the most beautiful horse.

sooo many jewelry stands in here!

a church modeled after one in italy (don't know the name...)

we checked out this exhibit.

some neat graffiti art in the background.

katyn memorial.

proof we were on a train.

these photos are from our first and our third day in krakow. 

on the second day, we took a bus to auschwitz, and spent most of the day there. it was a really intense experience, one i really felt wasn't right to photograph. sam and i each experienced it in our own personal ways, and we want to keep it that way.

so here's my second last set of euro photos, i have one more left from wroclaw!

hope everyone had a good monday, and ill be back soon with moreeeeeeeeee.

krush.
