Short vacations like this are fun:). Yeah, it's work too. And they could be cold. But mostly it is fun because we break out from our routine and spend soooooo much time as a family together. Some moments are better than others, of course:) Like this one below:
Why, oh why, Mark? EVERY. SINGLE. SELFIE. We couldn't get a better shot than that.
After dinner on Sunday night we went walking around this beautiful city.
Although it looks kind of empty, it wasn't really late just cold. Very few tourists brave the weather, thus giving us more freedom to roam around. All cafes and cozy hot chocolate places are still open of course.
You can see this beautiful building in the background. It's the Clothes Hall that used to be a traditional clothes market for centuries and now is a collection of dozens of souvenir shops.
The legend among the local university students goes that whoever hops on one foot three times around this monument at night will successfully go through their Polish exams (or something like that). Alex, Katya and Mark tried to complete the task, but to no avail.
Awe...almost like a winter fairytale.
Her is our horse carriage...waiting for us.
The kids kept themselves nice and warm by running and jumping around.
Haha, I think (I hope) Katya took this picture (and not Robert). Even mannequins are pretty in Poland.
And then....And then...we stumbled upon a big orange tent where people, supposedly were watching the European Handball Championship games. Poland was hosting it and matches were broadcast all over for fans to enjoy. Wait, you don't know what handball is? In case you are interested...
That night, it turned out, Poland was playing Macedonia and many fans gathered together in this tent to watch the game on the big screen. But that's not all! They had a bunch of free entertainment inside as well. Kids had a blast!
Like who wants to do some bungee running?
Common, Alex, grab the ball!
Oh yeah?
Almost!!
Got it!
You want one too?
The kids did the running thing for like twenty minutes. Then we moved on to a few more games, but didn't take pictures.
While kids were doing some Wii Kinect games, I could watch a short panorama video about Poland. Thanks, Robert for this picture.
I got you back. The picture actually fits you well.
And thus our one night in Krakow turned out to be not all outside and sightseeing after all. It's fun to mix things up sometimes, right?
Lyana.
