Europe 2006 - Day 3 - Germany to Poland

• Awesome buffet breakfast @ Felsenkeller

• Flight: Frankfurt-Hahn to Krakow


• Met @ airport by Maciek + Ania - tea @ their flat - nice!

• They got us a deal on a private room @ Sky Hostel - signs like this one line the main hall, 'cept this one is inadvertently funny

• Walked to Christmas market in main square - youth choir singing carols on stage - hot, mulled wine - grilled wurst + kraut snack - lovely
  
• Met Maciek for dinner in cellar restaurant
• Walked around Wawel Castle
• Sculpture of Smok Wawelski (The Wawel Dragon) below castle, next to Vistula River - sign said to text SMOK to #7168 + the dragon will breath fire - we tried twice - apparently Smok was taking the night off
