A crazy guide to off-radar Kraków
Tired of waiting for a guide who seems to have stood us up, we decide to go for a potter around the market stalls . Kraków is just too beautiful a city to waste any time sitting around. Just as we’re about to make a move, however, a towering figure wearing a white vest, large gold crucifix and green tracksuit bottoms suddenly materialises. He says something in Polish, and then in English, asking if we want to buy something from the vast woven bag he is brandishing. Protesting on our behalf, a waitress intervenes, and with a bit of a deft shimmy, we escape behind his back.
