The Golden Age and Dark Days of Krakow

August 31, 2015 By Lauren Leave a Comment

We planned to spend the bulk of our week in Poland in Krakow, the cultural capital of the country. Krakow was also the governmental capital of Poland throughout much of the land’s history and is still bitter about King Sigismund III moving the official center to Warsaw in 1596. [Funny bit of folklore about that, […]

A Quick Visit to Vilnius

August 23, 2015 By Lauren 6 Comments

Lithuania was our last stop as we journeyed south through the Baltic nations, and, sadly, with only two nights, we didn’t have a chance to do it justice. It didn’t help that we absolutely loved our Air BnB here, which was situated in an old monastery, and were content to stay in and relax more […]
