Our first fab sight in Krakow: the Barbican Gate
A nighttime outdoor art market
Lovin' those modern trams!
Béné has her eye on the Wawel castle
Standing inside Wawel, looking at the cathedral
A crazy knocked-together cathedral if you ask me
Deserted royal courtyards
History comes alive...NOT
The main square
A tourist mecca
A pigeon mecca
The fabulous Church of St Mary
Inside St Mary's
We found a funky bar
Me & Béné try some local beers
Crazy decor
Aaaargh! The heads are eating me!
This beer logo reminds me of Almdudler
Heading down into the Salt Mines at Wieliczka
It's a long, long way down...
...but I take the stairwell in my stride
Huge statues hewn straight out of salt
The story of the founding of the mine
A salt-crystal chandelier
Béné is stunned by the salty sculptures
A Tussauds-esque reconstruction of life in the mine
An enormous underground complex
Down down deeper and down
The Eight Dwarves - count them!
Exquisite underground cathedral
All the art is carved straight from the salt
More stunning salt work
Ripping off tourists in a 36m high cave
The Church of St Peter and St Paul, where we saw a classical concert
St Mary's by night
The Hard Rock Café looks lovely in the night
The small church on the big square
St Peter & St Paul by night
Wawel by night
Church of St Bernard
Still lovin' those trams!
Corpus Christi church
Béné finds a shop for benedictine things
The Old Town Hall of Kazimierz
Inside St Catherine's church
A very pastel crucifix in St Catherine's
The choir stalls of St Catherine's
St Stanislaw's church, home of the Skalka shrine
The new altar outside St Stanislaw's
Inside St Stanislaw's
The tethered balloon experience
Another view of Skalka and St Stanislaw's
Excellent graffiti rendition of Sponge Bob Square Pants!
Wawel, as seen from the bank of the Vistula river
A cheeky beer in the sun
Basically, it was just to prove that we did actually need our sunglasses on this trip - for all of about half an hour
The balloon gives excellent views over the city
So of course, we had to go up! Here's Wawel castle
Looking east over Kazimierz
The landing pad - hope no-one cuts the cord!
Skalka from on high
Béné takes a snap of the balloon
Just after landing
The back of Wawel cathedral
The tower on the main square in the Old Town
St Mary's in the evening glow
Lots of amber for sale everywhere
A Georgian restaurant (we had khatchapuri)
A sweet red wine to go with our khatchapuri
Nuns at it again
Romantic sculpture
Béné does an impression of a statue
The Barbican
The Barbican Gate (from outside this time)
Krakow Theatre
The walls of a cellar bar in the Old Town
Lemon curaçao shooters - it made sense at the time
Béné gets ready to enjoy the sky-blue goodness
