Guess where I have been...

Lechia is one of the old names of Poland.
Flower wreaths are a part of the traditional dress for girls. Boys wear peacock feathers on square caps.
Krakow has adorable cafes on every corner:

And lots of dragons. The legend of the maiden-devouring dragon appeared after some dinosaur bones were found there in the middle ages. There is even a dragon cave under the Krakow Castle!

This is one of the best cafes in the world. Camelot. It's magical.
I sheltered there from a wicked storm that cut short my browsing at a nearby antique flea market.

Wroclaw has these little dwarves in random places. This one was at a former prison (now pub):
Colourful Old Town Square in Wroclaw:
Kings and queens are buried in this chapel, along with several poets, national heroes and the infamous ex president. Under a cloistered courtyard nearby is one of the chakra stones of the earth. For a certain time there was an official "there is no chakra here" sign, now the place is marked only by people sitting with their eyes closed in a seemingly unremarkable corner.
I love how Polish people chill on their monuments and statues. And its not just kids, there will be students eating their lunch and some guy strumming a guitar.
This whole chapel has been carved out of salt. Even the chandeliers are salt !

Apart from having the cutest cafes in the world, Poland has the advantage of still being very cheap as compared to west Europe. It also has a lot of it's nature intact: 1000 lakes or Europe's last ancient forest anyone ?
Guess what I did apart from eating Zapiekanki and wandering in the little streets ? I got bra fitted. I'll tell all in the next post !
