Farewell Krakow Sheraton

It doesn't seem five minutes since we arrived in Poland and now, this morning, we are packing to leave!  Our few days in Krakow have been packed with activities and there is still so much more we could have seen and done.  I really do want to come back again soon - hopefully bringing Sara with me.  Thom found it difficult to wake up this morning - especially after yesterday's tiring itinerary - hot weather and an enormous amount of walking - not only around the two Auschwitz Camps but also around Krakow itself.  I felt quite hungry this morning so walked to the little cafe at the foot of Wawal Hill where the path leads up to the Cathedral.  I ate a Polish breakfast - frankfurters, cheese and salad with fresh bread and coffee.  I then walked around the block containing our hotel and called in at one of the numerous "Alkohole" outlets to buy a couple of bottles of Polish flavoured vodka.  That done I returned to the hotel, finished the packing and then Thom and I went into the Club Lounge for free coffee, snacks and to watch some of the Olympics on TV.  We took a Mercedes S-class taxi, provided by the Sheraton Hotel, to Krakow Airport where we joined an enormous queue to check-in for our EasyJet flight back to Bristol.  Having dropped off our bag and gone through security, we sat in the Business Executive Lounge watching more Olympics in English on the TV.  Thom enjoyed playing about with a MacBook which was available for passengers.  In fact, Thom and I were the only people in the lounge - a fantastic oasis away from the intense crowds queueing at the gate outside.  Our flight took off on time and we arrived on schedule at Bristol. I really cannot fault EasyJet on their performance both to and from Poland.  In fact, the whole trip has been just perfect.  Absolutely everything went according to plan - the hotel was fantastic, the airline brilliant and the company organising our tours superb.  The food and drink was good and cheap and the city of Krakow is just magical.  A fantastic "bolt hole" for the future when a break is needed.  Back to the hum-drum except the Olympics are now reaching their climax and Team GB are doing so well.
