An escape from the treadwheel

The little team of Travel and Tourism final-year students invested two days and some pocket money to get a short break from stress of the coming exam period. An overnight ride on the bus from Budapest to Krakow: rising with the sun and getting some more sleep at the station, and arriving just at the opening time to have a brilliant breakfast with hot latte at a Polish artisan bakery. Local hospitality is reflected by the fact that we could occupy our accommodation in the old town at 9 am, so the discovery of the town could be started soon after some rest – and without the backpacks. The market hall with its amber jewellery stalls, the busy old town with its beautiful architecture, the Wawel with its dragon and the Vistula river, window-shopping and some karaoke with people from all over the World in a nearby bar in the evening are some of the memorable experiences. For their history studies, the two Noras visited the Birkenau concentration camp – a deeply moving experience. Our bus back home left Krakow the next afternoon and we were back at home at about the same time we left two days ago.
