The Krakow Wrap Up, Part 1

I just wanted to show you a few final things from Krakow:

We went on a boat trip down the Vistual River. It was short, but nice.

This is the courtyard of Wawel Castle. We spent two afternoons there, but we were only allowed to take pictures outside. Sorry!

At Wawel Castle, there was this nice statue of JPII.

This is the view from the bell tower of Wawel Cathedral. The staircase was really long and windy and narrow and I kind of hated it. Luckily, Lily didn't like it either so I didn't have to go all the way to the top.

The kids were not totally thrilled with the tour of the castle, but they were happy when they found this huge tree they pretended was a fort, until the security guard asked us to get off the grass!

They also liked this cave called the Dragon's Den.

The cave led to a huge dragon statue that breathed real fire.

There were rocks to climb outside the cave. Who doesn't love to climb rocks?

Gord had his first day of work today. Tomorrow, he leaves for three days for some team building excercises. Hopefully, the kids and I will get to know some of the other families better over the next week or so. We met many of them today at lunch, and they seem like a great group.
