Krakow, Poland

After leaving Budapest last summer, we headed North to Krakow, Poland.  On the way, we drove through the country of Slovakia.  It was beautiful with a lot of forests.  We stopped at a rustic log roadside restaurant to eat lunch.  A lot of other people had the same idea, so it was busy.  My daughter tried the noodle and cheese dish, pictured above.  It's Bryndzové halušky; a potato dumpling covered in sheep's cheese and topped with crispy bacon.  It was SO good.  I wish I'd gotten that, lol.  I ate quite a bit of hers.  Sadly I only have phone pics of this part.  Now, on to Krakow.

 We went to a restaurant that only served Pierogi..... we ate a ton and they were SO good!  The plate below is meat-filled.  The pic below that is fruit-filled, for a dessert Pierogi. 

The name of the restaurant, below.  (Pierogi Mr. Vincent)  If you want to come here, make a reservation, because it's tiny, and very popular.  They will turn you away without emotion, lol.  It's super cheap, as well.  Everything was SO good! 

 Pic above- old tiles in the common area of the apt. building we were staying in.  

Walking through Krakow at night, so cozy and beautiful. (Pic above)  Pic below- the menu of the best Falafel restaurant I've ever been to!!  Sadly my pictures of the food turned out super bad, so I can't share them.  We got food from here twice.  Everything was so good, cheap, and fresh.  It's mostly take-out; only like 1 table.
