Krakow Poland 2012

After a great stay in Prague I boarded an overnight train to Krakow's Glowny Station. I arrived in Krakow on a rainy August morning, found a place for breakfast and checked into my apartment right on the main square. Krakow's Main Market Square is the largest medieval town square in Europe. The old part of Krakow is all within an easy walk so it's a great place to visit.
