Soggy times in Krakow

First impressions of Krakow were not good. We arrived at the station to find it raining heavily, filthy, construction everywhere, and no tourist office or directions of any kind as to how to get to the town centre. Eventually we worked it out though and, despite the appalling weather, managed to have a good couple of days in the cultural capital of Poland.

Krakow is split into three main parts - the old town centre, the Wawel castle hill, and the old Jewish area of Kazimierz, which has lots of good cheap bars. After a trip to the castle, we visited Smok the dragon in his Den - and he welcomed us with puff of his fiery breath (although the rain nearly put it out!).
