Cracow

Here I am in the basement of a youth hostel in Cracow. The city and castle here are beautiful, but the night train here was quite an adventure. we were 5 in our "cabin", and the 3 others were getting off at Breslau around 5am, so there was much commotion and we didnt get too much sleep. also, the train stopped in everz imaginable nook and cranny of poland, and the toilets were DISGUSTING. oh well, i guess I have to get used to that cause its probablz not the worst I will have seen on the whole trip.

arrived in Cracow, we had to buy a bus ticket and wanted to get info for a train to ukraine, but noone spoke english... that was funy. We've got a double room here in the youth hostel for 98 slotys a night, which is not so bad, considering the shared bathrooms are relatively clean and our room is ok.

we're leaving tomorrow around 13h35 and arriving sunday around 12h40 in odessa (yep, 22 hour train - yay)

I hope we'll have the luck of sharing the compartment with young people or at least someone who speaks english.. either way, it ll be fun

weather forecast says itll be 33 degrees in odessa on sunday, and I will be at the beach on the coast of the black sea..

Ill try to post if I find internet somewhere

well, im off to have pierogis and polish beers in Kazimierz!

cheers

That is so great. Thanks for the update & enjoy the wonderful opportunity you have even if no one speaks English.

You're very lucky to be on such a journey!
