Wawel Castle

This is right next to my hotel. Well, 10 minute walk and you have to go uphill. Wikipedia would have you believe that this is the most important building culturally and historically for Poland. This is where the king lived and where the seat of power was till the capital was moved north to Warsaw.

Vistula river!

My hotel in Krakow is right on the river. It is a nice warm and sunny day. Everybody of all ages seem to be outside. Many of them are just lying by the river soaking the sun in. I had just one question – It is Thursday and 2PM. What happened to classes and offices?

Lots of memories from that airport

Muenchen!!

Remember seeing somebody ordering beer at 5am in the morning! Also, the only airport where, after reaching the gate to leave for the US, I realized nobody had stamped my passport. Went back to the security folks and they had to call in the immigration guy to stamp my passport. This was around 4am in the morning. And I had an Indian passport then.

One of my favorite cities in Europe!
