Sunday, December 16, 2018, Bratislava, Slovakia to Krakow, Poland:

            This morning we were on the road by 9:00.  Our destination by tonight is Krakow, Poland.  The fastest, most direct route to Krakow is via the Czech Republic on the autobahn.  On the route, is the city of Brno, CK.  We stopped in Brno to see their lovely Christmas market and Cathedral, as well as to have lunch, before we continue.

            It was 5:15 before we arrived at our reserved apartment, just off the Krakow square.  Thank goodness for GPS, as we meandered through town to get here. 

            Wow is the Krakow Square a special place at Christmas!  There is a large Christmas market in the center.  Around the edge of the square are heated outdoor restaurants.  The decorations, lights and decorated trees are very upscale.  There are many well-groomed horse and carriages waiting to give you a ride. 

            After checking-in to the apartment, and settling in for a few minutes, we looked at the websites of activities for tomorrow.  We booked several items before we were out the door to explore the Square and catch a bite to eat this evening. 

            Before we finished the Square tonight, we popped inside the Cathedral which is located at one corner of the Square.  Evening mass taking place, but we had a glimpse of this beautiful cathedral.  We need to return, to really look around. I haven’t mentioned this before, but several of the Cathedrals we have entered while mass is in session, have been filled with worshippers.
