Krakow and Czech Republic

We spent most of Tuesday wandering around Krakow at a more leisurely pace and it is definitely in the top ten cities we have visited in the van, possibly top 5. Not only does it have a clean and beautiful historic centre but it is so cheap! Not just the beer, but a full English breakfast, 2 coffees and a Fanta for £7, or 2 ice creams for £1.

Wednesday morning we headed for the Czech Republic and deliberately overshot the Auschwitz exit, we had discussed going there, but decided against it for emotional reasons.

It is good to be here, the last on the list of our ‘countries we have never visited before’. The second leg of this trip has only been a whistle-stop tour, but we are still enjoying sampling these ‘new’ countries.

Last piece of our 'New World' jigsaw

One of the most trying tasks on this trip is keeping the van cool when we’re parked up, so it comes as a relief that not only are we in the beautiful grounds of Bouzov Castle, but our spot well shaded from the heat of the sun.
