That how we began
our 4th year of marriage...
Kraków we reached only in the evening. That day appeared to be cold and rainy. But it did not stop us to enjoy the beauty of the city. We came to Poland in 11 of November and this is big day - Reconstitution of Poland. So we got to see how polish celebrating in their former country capital :) They are definitely more cultured then Ukrainians (actually sorry to say that, but it's true on my opinion). A lot of people just walked around the city and enjoyed classical music concert. We went up to the main area where the Main Market Square. And then went to the church of Saint Mary's Basilitsa. Very beautiful! After strolling through the city center and see all the interesting places we arrived to our hotel. And we were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality of the Poles. They are wonderful people indeed!
The next day we went to the
Wieliczka Salt Mine. If you visited Krakow and did not take a look Wieliczka
you should not forgive yourself! Its very interesting. There you can see the biggest church underground and it's made from salt! Everything steeped in salt. Over time, wooden beams turned to the salt stones. There is even
hotel where you can stay. Definitely you should see this place once in your life!!!
Next day we went to the hot sources bathes of Bešeňová in Slovakia. But it's already too much for one post so here is a next one where the story continues ;)
