The Polish Adventure 9: Krakow

The City of Kings…the religious, cultural, spiritual heart of a nation for over 800 years. It has survived pestilence, plague, and war…and it’s still standing. Frankly, I’m not going to write another word…the old town is another UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it speaks for itself. I’m just going to share a few of the shots I took today…which was a difficult task, because I had SO MANY! I’m going to have to spend a week at a Wal-Mart photo kiosk (SIGH).

Anyhow, as I said, let the pictures speak for themselves…


(1) WAWEL HILL - THE CASTLE & CATHEDRAL (and one shot of the crypt)
