Caught the train down to Kraków this morning, just 3 hours by intercity express. Reasonable priced and you got a free cup of tea. British Rail take note. Kraków is a beautiful old city on the banks of the Vistula River. It survived the war more or less intact, unlike many if its inhabitants, so still has the glorious medieval Castle and churches. Climbed up Wawel Hill in the afternoon for a visit to the cathedral, former home of Pope John Paul II as archbishop of Kraków. Like most churched it`s full of treasures. Also a good few bodies, all that remain of the former Kings or Poland, including a couple of Women Kings. Liberation came early to Poland.
