Snow on the Vistula

Fantastic day, walked all over Kraków. Visited the beautiful Rumen Synagogue and then went up to the castle, because it was snowing again and castles look so beautiful in the snow. This is the view looking down from Wawel to the park on the banks of the Vistula; after nightfall we walked home to Kazimierz this way and it was beautiful in the darkness with the light from the bridge and the Christmas decorations.

Took lunch in a cafe that did us a very good vegan wrap (although our request for a London Fog - a kind of earl grey latte - caused the waiter considerable professional angst), then went underground to the excavated five hundred year old remains below the market place. The earlier medieval streets of the city had been uncovered during construction works in 2005 and had yielded large quantities of artefacts as well as old cobbled roads and timbers.

Had a lovely couple of hours chilling in Camelot, a quirky bar full of little Narnia-like rooms. Then went to a favourite restaurant for vegan Asian fusion food and ended up in Cheder, a little bar back in the Jewish quarter.

Can’t really do it justice. As days go this one had everything.
