Bye Krakow

All good things come to an end, and this visit to Krakow is no exception. On to Warsaw! But first, more pictures of Krakow! Did you know that Krakow has the largest public square in Europe (200 metres by 200 metres) and was laid out according to Magdeburg Law (named after the city in Germany), which set out urban planning codes and a system of government for many medieval cities? Well, now you do. Did you also know that the Nazis used this German connection as a reason for "reclaiming" Krakow during the Second World War? Oh Nazis, you and your threadbare excuses...
