A dream destination, or is it schoolies week?

We finally arrived in krakow after our flight from St Petersburg. We were delayed in Warsaw by 1 hr so did not end up getting to our apartment until about 8.30. The apartment is great, very close to the old town, quite modern too!

We spent our first day in krakow just strolling around, the weather is amazing, we enjoyed a few beers sitting looking out to the main square, despite all of the tourists it is quite relaxing to sit back, enjoy a drink and do some people watching.

We booked our train ticket to go to Warsaw, we leave Tuesday the 24th at 7.05am, an early start for us that day! We spent the evening sitting by the old square enjoying a few more beers and watching the sun go down, so heavenly and relaxing!

Today we headed out for some photo taking. We first noticed some oddly dressed youths on the way to the old town. When we got into the square we realised there is a youth festival going on, end of term, a bit like schools week. They are all dressed in fancy dress costumes and there is a big stage in the old town playing dance music! Seriously, there goes my gorgeous Krakow experience!!

We are heading to Auschwitz tomorrow, thankfully that will get us away from the partying teens! I know I sound old, but really, who would choose to travel to the gold coast in schools week? Oh well, best make the most of the cheap booze, perhaps if I'm drunk as well they will be a bit more entertaining!!
