River Side Walk and ABC

I’ve been a bit slack with posting my blog this week. It’s not that I’ve been especially busy—just doing other things and then forgetting to ask Sarah to proofread it for me. 😮

Yet another walk today (YAW?) and ABC to see along the way. We took a slightly different route from the apartment around the castle, to where we were last night to see the dragon. Hardly anyone was about this morning—maybe because it looked like rain, or maybe it was just too early. The forecast said it wouldn’t rain, so we only packed caps, not coats. It had rained last night and looked like it had carried on through the night.

The dragon had been snuffed out. We waited for 10 minutes and only heard him huff, but never saw any puff (or flames). Never mind. We carried on and found a sculpture of a dog, then another very large church. We popped inside briefly for a look before continuing to a small, cute dragon sculpture beside the river bridge.

We made a quick circuit into town, hoping to hear the bugle, but our timing was still off. We’ll try again and tell you about it if we finally get to hear it. But Sarah did find a pretzel shop that Google highly recommended. She purchased a fresh plain pretzel with lots of rock salt on it. I tried some, it was yummy. They also had lots of different flavoured ones like they do with donuts. 

Lunch was back at the apartment, followed by an afternoon of not doing much. After dinner we took an evening stroll to check out the horse-drawn carriages. Sarah went to ask about prices: $230 NZD for 20 minutes—or, if you’ve recently won the lottery, 45 minutes for $460 NZD. Crazy stuff! And yet there were a few people circling the square in them. Perhaps there are more than a few lottery winners in Kraków tonight?

Almost forgot—pork steaks, salad, and boiled new potatoes for dinner. A good, simple, and tasty go-to meal for us. We also shouted ourselves to a gelato ice cream on the way back from seeing the horses.
