As the pups were all asleep on the sofa, I snuck back into the main bed with Mark and was dead to the world in seconds…not noticing Ernest and Mabel sneaking in to join us a short while later. So while I woke up 8 hours later all cheery, Mark is yawning…think we will be relegated to the sofa again 🤣
The garage Elcamp was meant to be closed today, but bless them they were working on our van for 4 hours fixing the brake disks, pads and cylinder – we are now safe to drive again! While they were working we did another 2 hour walk with the pups and found a new cafe called Coffee Walk which had freshly baked cookies and pastries, then sat in reception reading our books. We are so thankful; they have done an amazing job squeezing us into a full diary and even gifted us a free bottle of toilet blue. We highly recommend.
With one job done, we had a celebration late lunch at Las Veges – a lovely little vegetarian restaurant on the outskirts of Krakow. We had the set meal of homemade lemonade, cauliflower soup followed by veggie goulash and mashed potato. Mark was so excited to have mashed potato as it’s our first time since leaving England almost 5 months ago 🤣 It worked out at £5 each, I really can’t get over how affordable eating out is.
That left the evil task of sorting my dead phone out. We tried three phone repair shops before conceding that it was truly dead. Mark had suspected as much last night and started researching new phones. Phone shopping is my idea of hell as I’m a complete luddite and really don’t care how fancy it looks. I just want a good camera, battery life and a place for my apps to live, I’ve no idea why phone have tobe so expensive. I let Mark lead the conversation with the salesman, they suggested a Samsung A70 and I said yes in blue please. I then spent more money protecting the poor thing as I’m prone to dropping my phone, so it’s got extra screen protection and a spigens ultimate case…if I brake this I will cry. But woohoo I’m reconnected with the world 😄
This called for more celebration in the form of a Good Lood cherry and banana ice cream and then an after dinner cherry/chocolate polish doughnut! I really must get back on my fitness and healthy eating soon. Krakow is such a tasty bad influence.
I spent the evening getting to grips with my phone and playing virtual rapidough with my niece – basically charades over WhatsApp where I tried to be a fountain pen, vase, baseball cap and other random objects with hilarious results.
At some point we need to leave Krakow and head to warmer climes (now considering Portugal or Morocco for winter as Greece is supposedly cold and wet). Thinking the pile of laundry will keep us here an extra day, then south to the Tatra Mountains. Any route suggestions warmly welcomed.
