You can get to Kraków by train but from Brno it takes 7 to 12 hours and requires you to change trains 4 or 5 times. Too much hassle.
You can drive there in about 3 or 4 hours but I don't have a car. Plus, since I'm on a long-term visa, my American license isn't valid here. I need to get a Czech license if I want to rent a car. But that also means I need to learn how to drive in ice and snow. No time for that now.
I found a deal on Airberlin that will work. Tonight I'm going to take the train from Brno to Vienna. Then I have a 7 AM flight from Vienna to Berlin and then a connecting flight from Berlin to Kraków. Apparently, no one here flies to Kraków so my friends think I'm nuts. But I'm sure going to do it. I bet I will feel like a DHL package being routed all over Europe but oh well.
I have tours planned to go see Auschwitz and the Wieliczka Salt Mine. I plan to check out Old Town and I'm sure there will be a Christmas market going on.
The things I learn from reading your blog...they are never-ending!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. Most of time I'm just hoping not to bore anybody. =)
ReplyDeleteHi! Where are you now?
ReplyDeleteIf it's possible tell me about your experiences in the Poland.
I discovered some roots os my past in there and want so much to know what's the best way to discover that country. Thanks
Hi, I'm still in Czech Republic. Poland is one of my favorite countries to visit and I've found the best way is to just go there and explore. Good luck!
