The train from Prague arrived at around 6 AM. I had no
Polish money yet and the ATM at the train station wasn't
working. On top of that the booth that converted money
only took cash! All I could do was convert the last 10
Euros I had in my pocket to get cash so I could get around.
I had very little sleep on the train even though
it was comfortable and I felt safe. It was just a
very loud train.
I sat in the station a bit before attempting to
attack the accommodations message board that passed for
their tourist information booth. Nothing else was open
yet.
I was then approached by someone from a youth hostel
pushing rooms. She seemed honest enough and it didn't
sound so bad. I figured at
$12/night I could handle it
for one night and then move on.
The hostel (Bursa Jagiellonska) ended up being a
bit further outside of town than I wanted. The staff
was real nice, and it was clean enough, but it was probably
not worth it being so far out. But it was nice to just
have a place to go for right now. It was a tram ride
away into the Jewish quarter.
After a nap I hopped the tram back into the Old
Town and got off at the
Wawel (the castle, shown here).
