Krakov, a most wonderful few days in this delightful city. We stayed a short few blocks outside the green belt that surrounds Old Town. We dined at what would easily be five star restaurants on exquisite cuisine - at Red Lobster prices each lunch and dinner. Donnie is such a hearty eater, and will try most anything, so he was a pleasure to have along, and make menu choices for. Not much of a meat eater, but that goes with the age and the inability to adequately masticate flesh. (Caint chew meat real good with little fella teeth) Grilled veggies, cous cous, pierogi's, tomatoes, most any fruit...
Napping on the reclining seats of the train proved to be no problem. Ice cream on the other hand is an errorin judgement we won't soon repeat. Man this boy is senstive to processed sugar! Not a pretty sight.
Wawel Castle on a hill in Krakov. Complete with Dragon's den and fire breathing dragon.
Castle square, gardens and a boat ride.
The main square of Krakov.
After dinner one evening we took a horse drawn carriage ride around Old Town. The horseman graciously took Donnie up to drive the horses. Days later, he still sits and pretends to hold the reins and drive the horses making horsey noises. Very cute.
