Hi Friends!

I have decided to do as much of my Christmas shopping as I can while I’m here. Everything is so cheap and I know everyone will appreciate getting something from my travels.

I decided to walk to Cloth Hall - which is about a half hour walk from the Qubus because I read there were some good handmade merchants there. That’s always the hardest part about trying to shop in a new city - finding items that aren’t cheap trinkets from China, but also aren’t generic items you could find in any mall.

I had heard that there was a castle and thought I should try to find it at some point. Not more than 5 minutes after thinking that... BAM it was right in my face.

I took a little detour from my shopping excision to go check it out. It was such a large compound that I actually got a little list trying to get out. There were many beautiful buildings within the castle walls - and several large, open square areas. I imagine that perhaps these were used for dances? Seems romantic anyway.

I hope you guys enjoy the shots from Wawel Castle!

Meetup Tonight


Stay tuned for more details, but @anomadsoul just let me know that he landed, and so we’ll be getting the party started for anyone who is here! I hear @rivalzzz flies in tonight and I think I saw that @leotrap is already here? I think we will meet around 5ish and will share more details once we figure that out.

Now that I’ve been thoroughly distracted by a castle... I’m off to do some of that shopping!

Xo, Lea

Greetings, Coruscate

What a beautiful place. In these castles could be rotated several and several romantic films, do not you think ???

I hope you enjoy the trip, doing your shopping and other things more.

You look beautiful in the picture.

Thank you and good morning!

Aww thank you my friend! Yes, the castle was very romantic!

Who wants to go shopping when you can watch a beautiful castle?
Now that's a cool city.

The castle was definitely the star of the show today! I was looking for beautiful, quality, handmade goods, and only found cheap trinkets. I guess I’ll have to try little harder. :-)

great shots @coruscate ... what a fantastic experience for you. Next time you might actually do the shopping you started out to do :)

The castle was so cool, you would’ve loved it! Shopping with super disappointing though. I had read the place had good handmade items, but they were all cheap trinkets. I guess I’ll have to keep looking to find some cool items. :-)

Great shots! Krakow looks lovely :) Glad to hear Eric got in safe!

Me too! I was so relieved! That would be such a bummer to get stuck in customs.

Heeeyy, thanks For sharing the divider 🤟

Sorry to keep rubbing and how cool it is here! Glad you’re enjoying checking out the photos though. :-)

During the day, when the sun was out, it was actually pretty warm and nice! Once the sun goes away though, you definitely need a jacket!

Hahaha... I was in there today too! Amazing city doesn't it? At least for me is my very first time and feels like home... Im in Kazimiers, love this place!

I suppose a castle could keep a man away from shopping but a young lady like yourself, are you feeling alright @coruscate, :D :D :D
I am unable to go this year but I am hoping to go next if I can, money is a little tight right now.
have a nice time :D

I love how thoughtful you are :)

Nice to see something from Krakow in advance. Great to see the sun shining. I'll pack my shorts 😎

Enjoy the party tonight with the first Steemians!💃🏻

Love those buildings
Thank you for sharing these with us :)
