Krakow, Poland

I am in Krakow, a gorgeous city surrounded by a 4km circuit park, and a huge town square in the centre. Yesterday (1 August) was the anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, and so there was a memorial 1-minute of silence in the town square, a parade and lots of singing. Mum found it a bit emotional. Later on the town square was a hub of activity, tourists, locals, young and old. There are heaps of outdoor cafes all over, and a stage had been set up for some live doof music for the young crowd. We ate in an outdoor cafe with the sounds of classical piano and violin playing next to us, enjoying a Polish beer.
