Krakow?? Where is that? That's the typical respond when I mentioned that I will be going there for a short 4 day break. Strange place to go for a holiday but this is a subsidised company holiday, which we signed up for months earlier. I was not quite keen to go because the main "attraction" there was the concentration camp called 'Austwitchz' - where millions of Jews were gassed to death. Hmm, definately not a place I want to bring Josiah. Another one of their attraction was the Salt Mines which involves a 2-3 hour walk underground and in part, in darkness!! Also not somewhere to bring my scaredy cat boy! I thought the whole holiday was going to be quite boring but as you can see, Krakow has more to offer than just that. We loved the city center. There was plenty of horse carriages, pigeons, open spaces, parks and cheap food! Our hotel also overlooks one of their national treasure - Wawel Castle which was beautiful. To top it off, there is a cool toy shop here and we used up all our Zloty (Polish currency) as no point in keeping it. So Josiah is one happy boy in this trip.
Weather was good too with temperatures reaching 29C compared to the miserable rainy day in London!
