Poland 2009 - Krakow day trip

We met the transportation person in the lobby around 7AM, he took us to the train station and we waiting for the train to Krakow. There were several other people on tour. Our first class cabin was good and no one else was in there with us. We arrived on time in Krakow three hours later. The travel guide met us on the platform, Anita. We went to the van and had two other travels with us who had their own guide. The couple had lived in Philly. We took off for the Salt Mines. Our guide picked up the tickets and waited for the gates to open. We went on the tour with a larger group. It took almost three hours and we walked underground for nearly three kilometers. After the tour our guide met us outside, we all hopped on the van had headed to the Jewish Quarter. The three of us sat at an outdoor café and had lunch. Then we proceeded on our tour of the city. I took many pictures but ran out of steam at the end and did not take any of the town square. I told our guide I wanted to do some shopping she was into that. That’s the advantage of having a private guide. After buying presents at the Amber shop, we found a small café to have coffee and a brewsky. We ventured on to the town square were the HRC café is located. This wrapped up our tour, our guide walked us to the train station to see us off. We got back to Warsaw a bit late and our driver was there to pick us up. Back at the hotel just had a brew then to bed.
