| Cramped quarters on our overnight train - actually we had the whole carriage to ourselves, but it was an adventure to have the top bunks. Kind of like college again! |

| We took a 3-hour bike tour on our own and basically rode along the river the entire time. It was incredibly relaxing and a fun way to see the city! |

| We went on a Communism tour and rode in the red car. It was pretty old and falling apart, but it was fun! We learned a lot about life in Krakow during communism and how this one area was built specifically for workers in a huge factory. The propaganda and design were interesting to me as a city planner. |
