Day 9: Trains and bad beer mix just fine

Today was mostly a travel day for us.  We spent the majority of the day on the train from Łódź to Kraków; Poland's first capital city.  The train ride was pretty uneventful although we were entertained by a Russian (supposed) journalist who was yelling at the train staff about the lousy air conditioning.  Imagine my surprise when she eventually ventured into our cabin and started meddling with the climate and light controls.  I needed no further invitation to leave her with a few "kind" words.

We got to the hotel at about 5:30pm, early enough to shower and run out to see a few things and grab some dinner.  Tomorrow is an early and long day.  We're spending the day at Auschwitz and the Wieliczka Salt mine.

Cess having an "Okocim", not exactly an awesome beer.  However, beer standards tend to be lowered when the temperature is sufficiently high:
