Wonderful. The city is on my bucket list. |

Wow. The thing that amazes me is that Poland was able to save all of this stuff. 200 years disappearing off the map, being traversed by multiple armies in some of history's biggest wars, then occupation by Nazis and Communists. And almost all the occupiers had no love of Polish nationalism. |

It was an amazing experience, hats off to the wife (no pun intended) for putting up with me wondering around the museums for hours. |

Last year for my 60th birthday my daughter took me to Krakow for a long weekend, fantastic place. The aircraft museum just north of the city is an absolute must as well what with the Spit, ME109 and a Tante Junker. Some of the other museums in the city have some great paintings, I don't know if you got to see any of them. We also went to Wawel Castle and I was all keyed up to see the husaria armour and equipment close up but when we went to buy tickets we were told the display was closed for two weeks for renovation or some such, it had closed the bl**dy day before so I was absolutely gutted. Came away with just a guide book. Mutter,mutter. My main reason for wanting to go was that the Mongols got there in 1241 (our flight landed at 1315 (ha,ha)) and I wanted to see if there was anything left of theirs. The bugler was interesting as was seeing the only other church to survive the attack. I would love to go back. |
