So after a train ride to London and a night of sleep in the Stansted airport, I arrived in Krakow. The reason for going there was to visit Auschwitz, but we found out Krakow itself is a good enough reason to go there. The first day there we explored the city center and the castle. We discovered this castle after arriving there and looking at the map. We had known about it beforehand, and it was quite a nice surprise. Turns out Krakow was where the royalty of Poland lived in those days, so this was one awesome ... </p> <p><a href="http://realtravel.com/krakow-journals-j6826274.html">[Read full entry]</a></p> <p><map name="google_ad_map_lizGgSoS7o7vvQft.C.mYgJRyKI_"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/lizGgSoS7o7vvQft.C.mYgJRyKI_?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"/></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_lizGgSoS7o7vvQft.C.mYgJRyKI_" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&client=ca-pub-1956712303939423&channel=3810559515&output=png&cuid=lizGgSoS7o7vvQft.C.mYgJRyKI_&url=http%3A%2F%2Frealtravel.com%2Fkrakow-journals-j6826274.html"/></p> http://realtravel.com/krakow-journals-j6826274.html tag:realtravel.com,2007-11-14:5999889 2007-11-14T19:26:31Z 2007-11-14T19:26:31Z Jachnik's Abroad http://realtravel.com/member-m5993666-jachniks_abroad.html <p>a entry by Jachnik's Abroad from a trip to <a href="http://realtravel.com/walily-podlaskie-reviews-hotels-d5999877.html">Walily, Podlaskie.</a></p> <p>Walily Stacja is the village where my grandfather lived and where my father grew up after the age of 7. It is a small village of about 50 houses on the edge of the primeval forest where my grandfather worked as a forester. The houses are very modest but of great charm. The forest has been the source of lumber for some time, particularly during the second world war during the German occupation, but it has been managed with skill and retains the randomness of nature.
