Things are happening...

One of the crazy nights were there huge storm in Krakow. The wind was so strong that it broke many trees and destroyed many things in the city. The next day all the lines, trams and buses, had changed schedules (no schedules) and went different streets that nobody understood what is going on. This was the only day I was officially late at work in the morning :)

Because the week was crazy they started build a fence around the block of flats where I lived. And they cut our shortcut so we had to go around a bit :( - I would say "just in Poland" :) The picture shows the late afternoon when I came there and realized that I cannot go through anymore.

Petulka in Krakow

This weekend was my lovely girlfriend Petula visiting me in Krakow. For that trip we chose to go for "Wieliczka Salt Mine" tour.
So, first we went to the salt mine which was very nice 2 hours experience in the deep. We were told all the stories and technologies what were used to get salt from the mine for 700 years but this I am not going to tell :)
We visited all chambers for turists and see all the restaurants, halls for wedings, chapels, long staires and also modern elevators :)
Later on Saturday we went for a short walk through the centre of Krakow, the park, Wawel castle and also restaurant Jarema which I fully recommend if you are here for a visit! Amazing food, life music and romantic atmosphere... Great relaxing dinner! So, that was amazing but very short weekend ;)

Kopec Kosciuszki trip

This time we went for the trip to the hill of Kosciuszki. The strange thing about this hill is that it was built by men. Kosciuszko was a great soldier and leader. For such people they build not statues but the whole hills :) Such hills there are about 4 in Krakow for different people but mostly for commanders, leaders or soldiers.
From this one is very nice view on the centre and it is worth to visit... That trip continued by walk through the wood and finished by beer at nice restaurant with view on the river Wisła. Friesbee at the end could not miss ;)
