I'm a bit late, but I though I would contribute to the #tripreport tag by sharing a bit about my visit in Krakow this weekend. Early friday morning I left Warsaw to take the train the krakow. It was really foggy. So foggy you could not see the top of Stalin's tower.

After 4 hours in the train, I arrived at krakow. This is the main market square. It was a beautiful day and I walked around for a couple of hours taking a bunch of pictures.

Later, I met up with people from my university and we went to a tram party. Basically, a tram picks you up and you ride around town drinking in the tram listening to music and dancing. It was pretty cool, but I didn't take any pictures. I'm sure I would have lost my camera so I didn't take it with me. Te whole experience was pretty fun! The part it stopped in the middle of nowhere next to the woods so that we all could go pee was funny.

Next day, we woke up early with friends and visited the sacred trinity church. If you zoom in on the picture, you can see the statues of Jesus sitting with God and a dove above their head. It's pretty strange because I've never seen a statue of God before. The only depiction of God I've seen previous to that was the painting of the creation.

Next, we went to this coffee shop in the old town. The interior was pretty intimidating with huge chairs, art everywhere and classical music playing in the background. The coffee was at a reasonable price and fairly good. In that respect, Poland is awesome. Everything is so cheap you can eat like a king for 10$

This is the dragon of Wawel. The legend says it was eating virgins and the bravest warrior of Poland could not defeat it. One day, Skuba, a young cobbler's apprentice stuffed a lam with sulfur. The dragon ate it and became so thirsty he drank water until he exploded. That's the official legend anyway. An unofficial version says that since he could only eat young virgins, the dragon died of hunger.

This is Wawel castle on top of the hill. It's beautiful inside but unfortunately taking pictures was not allowed. The golden dome was built by Bartolomeo Berrecci and it is in my opinion the prettiest chapel in the cathedral. Inside and out.

We climbed on top of he bell tower. The view of Krakow was simply amazing.

That's inside the courtyard of the castle. It was also built by Berrecci and is a replica of a castle in Italy, but was slightly adapted to Poland's weather. The roof was made slated and not flat to prevent the snow from caving it in. Back when it was constructed, the interior was painted many colors, you can still see the residues on the columns. I bet it was magnificent.

You can also pay to get on an hot air balloon to see the city.

Walking home, there was a protest agains immigrants and protesters where lighting little campfires all over the place. It honestly looked pretty neat until I found out what the protests were about.

The next day, we visited the salt mine in Wieliczka. The first level was 64 meters deep. It's the longest stairs i've ever took in my live. Honestly walking down stairs can be pretty boring after 10 mins but it's still mind blowing.

Everything in the mine is made of salt. Statues, chandeliers, stairs, EVERYTHING. It was all sculpted by workers of the mine during their free time.

A truly amazing weekend, I'll definitely come back in the summer. It's a beautiful city.
