III. (d) in Kraków

[squirmelia]

I arrived in Kraków on Monday afternoon and decided to do challenge III. (d), take the first left, then the second right, etc. I prefer to use the adaptation of take the first left, then take the first right, etc.


I start walking.

Piano music emanates from hotels.

An angel stands in a courtyard, surrounded by scaffolding.

A sticker says, "stick with me":



I walk past a church, which has a noticeboard that looks intriguing to me, but after I translate the notices, I realise they seem to be the timings of people's funerals and that makes me feel sad.

I then became confused and am not sure whether the road I am taking is going straight on, or really left. I count it as straight on.

On the corner of a street, I notice a statue of Madonna and child.

Here is a lamp post:



I start noticing the golf carts that carry people around on tours. They seem to be everywhere.

I quickly reach a dead end and there is no right. I am not ready for the walk to be over, so I turn around, and then turn right again, up Ulica sw. Krzyza.



I pass the English Football Club and Green Day and Happy Market.

I reach a pretty square:



It starts to rain and I decide to take a break from the walk, as I am drenched and forgot my umbrella. I get my umbrella, the rain stops and I resume the walk again, after I have eaten some extremely delicious gooseberry ice-cream.

I turn right down Ulica Szpitalna, left down Tomasza, right down Florian.

I pass shops selling amber and fidget spinners.

Left down Sw Maka, right down Jana, left down Pijarska.

I notice a lobster:



I walk past more churches. "Christo Transfigurato", it says at the front of one.

Right, left, right on Krowoderska.

I hear more music.

Left, then right at the gargoyle.
Left down Stefana. Right down Jana, left down Kremerowska, right down Karmelicka.

This is lovely :) I am now inspired to do a challenge when I go to Prague!

Fascinating! I'm particularly intrigued by the idea of gooseberry ice-cream. I've always assumed that they are a somewhat tart fruit (we don't get them here - I've managed to buy a plant once, but it didn't survive the summer), so how does that go in ice-cream?
