The alarm went at 4 o'clock to signal an early start! We drove to Yeadon and arrived at the airport in the dark, to be met by the busiest I have ever seen Leeds/Bradford. I've often noticed when walking the dog before 7am that there is a constant stream of aircraft taking off and today proved that most flights from there, it seems set off early morning. The queue for security went right round the departure lounge and past the entrance door.  It confused people and many joined this queue still with their luggage as they couldn't see how to get to check in!
Just for a change mum sailed through the scanner, so who got stopped for setting it off instead? Then subjected to the new full body scanner! Needless to say I passed easily; I can only conclude that the guy was overwhelmed by my impressive physique and wanted a peek at my magnificent torso unfettered by clothes!
The flight was ok but we were shocked when we got off the plane in Kraków, it was just like when we went to Spain; the heat hit you! It's hot here; who knew Poland was hot? Not me, I didn't bother packing any shorts. The forecast expects it to be hot throughout our stay so I look like being over dressed!
Hotel is very nice, they gave each of us a drink of fruit juice on arrival and a voucher for a free drink in the restaurant or bar if we ate there. Had a very warm walk round the centre of the city then had tea in the hotel restaurant where I had possibly the nicest steak I've ever eaten! With the free drink and 15% discount for out tour company the total bill was about £18!
The heat and the extremely early start then caught up with us and we dozed all evening!
The thing that is puzzling me so far is that Poland seems a really nice place and has everything you'd want plus fabulous weather. So why are so many of them living in the most seedy parts of the U.K.?
