Outside I stare an wonder how it must have felt looking out this window in 1940. #schindlersfactory. Working in a factory instead of working in a construction camp would have been such a relief. ❤️ Our hearts are heavy knowing the reality that was lived by our family. We are polish and proud. Love and compassion for all humanity is our true mission on OUR planet. #lifechanging #krakow (at Kraków, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoR61P9LYPs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Krakow | 24th, 25th January

Krakow is one of top three favourite cities this leg. Walking along the streets in krakow is like walking in a history textbook. Perhaps because we were staying in the Jewish ghettos, where almost every building in the vicinity was rich with history. 

The highlight of our journey from Berlin to Krakow was Princess Cheesecake we bought in the midst of rushing to the airport in Berlin. The cheesecakes we brought all the way from Berlin were the best we have eaten. (http://www.princess-cheesecake.de/) 

The new york cheesecake had a great (lemon) twist to it. It was light yet creamy, and the digestive biscuit base was of the right thickness. The chocolate cheesecake was delicious as well. We shall just let the pictures speak for themselves.

After our cheesecake, we were still famished, and decided to heed trip advisor's advice again. We checked out Warsztat, a restaurant Jon found online. It was a beautiful place! The ingenius and innovative use of musical instruments to decorate the place. We were then told that this restaurant was occupying what used to be a music store. 

All of the dishes surpassed expectations, except the slightly disappointing salmon pasta. The pasta was al dente, but the sauce was a little too creamy for our liking. 

Really good French Onion Soup

Creamy Salmon Pasta

Mushroom Risotto  We found the mushroom risotto palatable because it tasted quite like local fried rice that we were all craving for. 

Butcher's Pizza 

Next morning, we stayed home to receive the twins from lund. So happy to meet them after such a long while! It was snowing since the previous night so we woke up to a snow-covered park and a frozen river. 

Off to Bagel Mama for lunch! and they were just too hungry

The Classic - Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese, Tomatoes, Red Onions 

The Breakfast Bagel - Bacon, Eggs, Gouda Cheese

Beef Burrito 

Enroute to Schindler's Factory. Watch Schindler's List if you can, although hollywood's take on Schindler was slightly inaccurate, the gist of the movie was fine. 

At Schindler's Factory

On our way to Wawel Castle 

We had so much fun taking photographs on the way that by the time we reached the heart of the castle, they were closed!

Dinner was at Kawaleria, a restaurant on the Michelin Guide 

Pork Ribs

Steak, Potato Croquette, Red Cabbage

Butter Chicken Breast, Creamed Spinach, Bacon, Potato

Pork with Gouda Cheese, Sauteed Potatoes

Day 26: Friends.

Friendship doubles your joys, and divides your sorrows.

Got dropped off at Schindler's Factory Museum at 10.30am. It was a really great place - lots of interesting artifacts and well laid-out.

This photo really got to me:

So many names, so so sad...

Then a bunch of us decided to get a ride back into the central city on a golf cart with a tour guide who had a bit of a lead foot! 

We had lunch at Hard Rock Cafe (this is becoming a bit of a tradition!).

I bought some cute banana stud earrings from the markets and then had amazing hot chocolate. It was like nothing I've had before: rich and thick like a melted block of chocolate and nothing else.

See how dark that is?!

Then we went to the Palace, the Cathedral and the Dragon's Den. 

Here's D pretending to be a guard:

Legend says these are dragon bones:

Time to meet Smock the dragon:

Oooo, it's a bit dark...

Nah that aint him:

SMOCK!

Soon after it started raining so I bought a sweater from Reserved then we had dinner.

D & I decided to buy a duffel bag as our carry-on so that we can fit out increasing amount of luggage. Pick-up from town back to the hostel was supposed to be at 8pm but there was mis-communication and confusion so the 14 of us had to taxi. Most of us had no Zloty's left as we'd exchanged it to Czech $ for tomorrow so there were a few who very kindly paid to cover the 3 taxis to take us all back.

We had to walk back into central square, rather cold and wet from the rain, found a taxi (the same guy who had transported us back to the hostel the night before), and got home safe and sound, grateful for new friends and their generosity.

It's experiences like these that show people's true colours.
