Hi guys. Apologies for not doing this yesterday. I had a loooooot of traveling to do, and I was bushed when I checked in to the airBNB. Anyway, here I am in Krakow. I think I can say I've been looking forward to this the most. Walwel castle, St. Faustina's convent, and Schindler's factory are all on my to do list.

But, concerning yesterday. I took my first train from Berlin to Warsaw. I rode 1st class, since I'd never done anything 1st class before, and I wanted to see what it was like. We had a lot of legroom, but it still wasn't as comfortable as the French Thayls or the German ICE. (Pretty good, though!) I had lunch on the train- scrambled eggs and periogi. Usually I hate eggs, but these tasted pretty good. In all, I traveled 6 hours from Berlin to Warsaw.

I transferred at Warsaw to get to Krakow. That was another 4 hours. I had a rather aggravating time, trying to connect to the onboard wifi. For some reason, all I ever got was 'connected, no internet access.' That was frustrating! It was a good thing the station at Krakow had wifi, or I might not have been able to check in.

The apartment I'm staying at is a real palace! I'm quite glad to have encountered it. I was happy to be able to go to sleep after such a long day. I'll tell you guys more about today later tonight!
