Jono's Travels
On the road once more, this time heading to Kraków in Poland. Original plans in my itinerary had me visiting the concentration camp in Auschwitz. This however isn't going to happen today after all, instead this will be done after we leave Kraków. This means we will have a less of a hard day as tonight we are going to go on a pub crawl as well, combining the concentration camp and the pub crawl on the same day would just be too hard. We headed to Kraków and along the way we stopped for lunch, this was a lunch which is covered by our tour but it still means we have to setup the tables and chairs, not a biggie for us seeing we have had several of these along the way, so us that have done this a few times knew what needed to be done. Personally I wasn't hungry despite no having breakfast this morning, so I just helped with the tidy up to help get back on the road a bit quicker. Once lunch was over, it was back on the road to Kraków. We arrived early midday at the hotel where we checked in before heading to our rooms to change today's walking tour and tonight's pub crawl, so it needed to be tidy, but not too over the top. We then made our way into town. Sabrina took us around a couple of the local sights to see and showed us where there was a fire breathing dragon. We were then left to do our own thing for a next few hours. The Fantastic Five headed off to see the Palace only to find the majority of the stuff was closed, however we were able to look around the grounds without any problem, we then made our way toward the dragon, I wasn't able to get a photo of it breathing fire unfortunately as it doesn't breath it for long. I guess I should explain the dragon in a bit more detail, there is the legend of the dragon in the town, long story short, dragon ate virgin woman, the last one left was the Princess, King asked people to save the princess from the dragon by killing the dragon (seems like an easier way around that), Knights failed, some guy fed it a sheep stuffed with sulphur and the dragons stomach got really hot and needed water, so the dragon drank from the river until it exploded. So how did I see this fire breathing dragon you may ask... Well it's a statue of course, it breaths fire for about 2 seconds every 20 minutes. After that, the Fantastic Five headed off to find something to eat, Tall Ryan managed to ask one of the locals of a good place to go and eat, locals obviously know the best places, we got directed to restaurant just a few blocks away. We made our way there and I'll tell you this, if the local hadn't recommended it chances are we wouldn't have even gone in. I'm glad we did, the meals were ridiculously cheap and very very filling, we also got enjoy some music being played by a man at the Piano. Some of us had opted to do a drinking game for the night, we pulled out a task from a hat and whatever it was you had to do, failure to complete the task meant you couldn't play it again. Some of the tasks were rather easy, some as simple as drink 5 half shots, other steal a shot glass, and then there were some like streaking, or flashing, biting a tit or licking a nipple, I won't go into who got what, but should make for an interesting night. We headed off on the pub crawl around some of the local bars, the first hour bad was hour of power, essentially free drinks for the first hour. We just got trays and trays of shot glasses and I don't know how many drinks along with it. Essentially we had a lot of drinking happening all night, and I won't go into detail on the pub crawl, as what goes on tour stays on tour. I will however say it was a late night by most of us, with one leaving just before 11:30pm and the rest not leaving until somewhere after 3:30am
