RE: Hivers at "Kingdom Without End" receive and shelter me in Krakow, Poland.

Thank you so much for these great photos about Krakow. Seeing these photos was like a walk down memory lane. I remember when (ages ago) me and my brother were feeding the doves at the Market Square. Our parents bought us grain so we could feed them. They were eating out of our hands.

I also remember when we visited the palace, the floor of the rooms were covered with parquet and visitors were given cloth slippers to protect it. Those slippers were slippery on the wooden surface and we were sliding on the slippery floor. I know it wasn't nice, our parents kept telling us to stop it but it was a cool game.

The Wawel was also beautiful and the St Mary Basilica with the legend of the two brothers.

Another nice memory is that we were watching from the Wawel (I think) down to the Wisła river, where there was an iron dragon exhaling fire every hour. I'm wondering if it is still standing.

Well Karkow is a very nice city, I hope to visit it one day again. Oh, and another wonderful place was the Wieliczka salt mines, which is outside Krakow. I remember we took the train there.

there was an angel in disguise

More like a devil dressed in angel's clothes 😂 Ok, jokes aside, I'm glad things turned out ok for you and you have good people around you. Take care and I wish you all the best. I hope things start to fall into place soon.

I do not think I entered the palace. I only saw it from the outside and I was pretty carried away with Dawid's incredible knowledge about it and the history. It was still just as impressive without going inside.

I have walked a little near the river just under the palace area but I didnt see any dragon. I might meet the KBK guys tomorrow, so I'll ask them about it.

I want to visit it all again, Warsaw, Krakow, Katowice, but hopefully under better circumstances. I feel like it is a place that deserves my proper undisturbed attention.
