We took the liberty of sleeping in, seeing as we were the only ones in our room. By the time we got up and had breakfast we were ready for another snooze, but our mate Kasha from the previous night had the day off for some random reason (the kids at school all decided to not show upor something...), so she volunteered to take us for a tour around Krakow.

We saw the old university, St Mary's cathedral with its gorgeous altar and colourful insides, Florencian(?) St and quickly walked through the strangest and most beautifully decorated restaurants I've ever seen, which was there. On to the Pope John Paul II window, along the oldest street in Krakow, and up to the castle where we had lunch before going into the cathedral. Pretty trippy to walk through the crypt where kings of centuries ago were laid. Even the guy who discovered Australia's largest mountain is buried there! (It's actually pronounced Kovchusco or something). Lastly, down below the castle to the mythical dragon that breathes fire whenever a virgin walks past... must have been on the blink though...

Back at the hostel we saw the end of the Saudi Ukraine gam, and all of Spain and Tunisia, then headed out again. A place called Dominiums was recommended to us by the Aussie we met the other night, but it was closed (again) so we just returned home and crashed.
