Krakow

Past midnight seems to be a suitable time for writing a blog... and after a few beers.

Anyway. In addition to Bialystok's foods and hospitality of Wojciech, we've had the pleasure to enjoy some local food in Krakow as well. Dumplings called pierogami are worth tasting, as is something called zapakanka... (sandwich with cheese and mushrooms and ketchup) mind the spelling. :D Anyway, everything seems to have been boiled in fat. But it's tasty. Pizza will also be stuffed with 1cm cheese filling. Of course our hosts have been awesome so far.

Visited: Auschwitz, salt mines. Both are worth seeing even if the latter is quite touristy for my taste.

About driving: 1550km so far. The roads have gotten worse since passing Bialystok. The road from Krakow to Auschwitz has quite a few construction sites, which means the road will actually be driveable in a few years. Polish drivers are the worst problem though, even the trucks will pass you if you drive 90km/h (the limit). I'm not surprised they have a few thousand roadkills a year. Insert safety dance here. Oh, and while passing Warsaw we experienced a phenomenon: at one point the weather was 31,5C and sunny and 2,5 hours later 17C and raining so heavily we had to stop because we couldn't see shit.
