Budapest to Krakow

Hi All,

We left Budapest early in the morning to head to Krakow. We stopped for lunch in a little town in Slovakia named Banska Bystrica. During the black plague, a miracle happened and most of the towns residents were saved because they prayed in the square next to the church frequently.

It was nice to be able to eat in a "small" town. The place we ate at did not have menus in English, so we ordered by looking at pictures and randomly pointing. I had potatoes and a cheese platter. It was so cheap - only €6!

Then, we got back on the bus and headed for Poland. After getting a bit lost at the border, we finally arrived in Krakow at about 7:00 PM.

After checking into our hotel, we went to the old Jewish district of Krakow for an included dinner. We had a soup, chicken entree, and a dessert called Passover cake. The chicken was amazing and the Passover cake was good once you got past the weird texture.

After dinner, I went back to the hotel and collapsed!
