Back and reporting about our trip to Krakow.
Well, what can I say? The city is gorgeous, with amazing architecture, lovely people, and a very interesting story that I totally overlooked before visiting the underground old medieval city.
Now I can understand why Polish people are so proud. And they are certainly right.
Most amazing thing to report, though are the cakes. Oh my lord !!!!!!
And they still have proper, good old-fashioned patisseries where you can sit on a comfortable velvet little couch and enjoy a big slice of cake adorned with whipped cream. To Nona and me, a journey down memory lane when, as a child, she used to take me to a little patisserie every Wednesday after ballet. That was most likely even the reason why, instead of a ballerina physique, I developed a cursing sweet tooth, but also a happy soul, on top of lovely memories to pass on to my kids and still share with my mom.
Last but not least, I really need to highlight how hygienically superior this country is. I never went to a toilet that was not squeaky-clean. Even the unisex one at the petrol station in the middle of the countryside on a rainy day. And the hotel room was spotless in places ( like behind the window frame), which I saw was dusty even in big posh 5-star hotels.
Passing on to my travel companions now, here it is when my account could get colourful and seriously entertaining, but unfortunately, I’m not allowed to go unfiltered.
To be completely honest with you, I have already been scolded after the previous post. According to Nona, I might have given the impression that she is a bit difficult and not very flexible, which, of course, she is not, and the only suggestion of such a thing is outrageously untrue. Even if two days before departure, and right on the day I paid for the hotel, she asked to change our reservation and have a single room all for herself.
In fairness, she did say, “If it is not too much trouble,”……After I had already spent an entire afternoon cancelling the original hotel, getting a refund and finding another hotel with availability on the same days and under the same conditions.
Anyway, in the end I must admit two rooms proved to be the best option…. FOR EVERYONE!!!
And surely here I’ll get scolded again🙄, even though I can try to save my skin blaming daughter number one for not coming this year and making an odd number.
Blames and jokes aside, we learned our lesson for next year. Yes, next year!!!! Because this little multigenerational girls’ trip is by now an established tradition, and with those ladies of mine, the fun is always far bigger than the hassle.
Have a great week ahead and don’t forget random Wednesday tomorrow (yes, this week’s post was late, but we had a little health issue with the travelling husband, but don’t worry, he is ok!), and if you haven’t read the interview with Artyplantsman yet, just go back to last week’s post…it’s worth it! https://artyplantsman.wordpress.com/
