Today’s adventures were pretty lackluster considering that most of it was spent inside a bus travelling to Budapest, Hungary.

After some much needed rest at the hotel, we started off the day by touring the Krakow castle. I was especially intrigued by the dragon statue outside the castle walls not only because of my love for Game of Thrones, but because the dragon spewed fire from its mouth every couple of minutes. This statue… Read More Day 7 – Krakow, Poland

Today our groups started our day by attending a tour of the castle here in Krakow, Poland.
