We had a 6:45am flight out of Krakow, which makes for a very early morning. Around 4:30 we called an Uber, or at least we tried. Turns out, there aren't any Uber drivers at 4:30 in the morning in Krakow. Also, it turns out that none of the taxi companies answer the phone that early. The next train wasn't until 5:30 which would be cutting it very close. As you can imagine, we started to panic. Dave brilliantly found some Polish taxi app, entered a request, and crossed his fiingers.
Given the early departure, our Airbnb host asked us to leave the keys in the mailbox. I dropped them in and then Dave and I headed towards the building exit. After a few steps, we turned and looked at each other, both with an 'Oh, F!' look in our eyes. You need a key to leave the building! Panic part 2 set in. Thankfully, we were able to fish the keys out of the mailbox. And our fabulous taxi driver was waiting outside. So all was well, but not the most stress-free start to the day. The rest of the day was smooth sailing, thankfully.
Here's a look at our trip by the numbers:
0 - museums we entered (don't judge)
2 - races (Dave a 64k, me a half marathon)
4 - plates of pierogi - expected it to be more
8 - places we spent the night
54 - lodys (ice cream) consumed
64 - beers consumed
109 - hrs Dave played Pokemon Go (don't get me started...)
117 - miles ran
186 - miles walked
2,000 - kilometers driven
4, 211- churches we passed
5,468,980,116 - Polish words we mispronounced (probably an understatement)
We had a great time exploring Poland for two weeks. Did I mention Poland is pretty?
Highlight of the day: Coming home to this from our awesome roomie, Freddy.
And to this cutie pie!
