Kraków, Poland 7

We woke up early on Day 7 as usual and had some hours until our departure to the airport. We gave the last morning greeting to the Town Hall Tower. It looked like another hot sunny day.

We went to a bakery in the north beyond the Old Town. Piekarnia Binkowskich is a local bakery that has been making bread with natural sourdough, without improvers or preservations for over 70 years at this location.

Their bread and baked goods looked straightforward. We bought a whole Challah, a half of Babka, a jammy pastry and something that looked like an apple pie square to take home with us.

Then we visited Stary Kleparz, again. It looked that the marketplace had more small stores and stalls open and more lively than the day before.

We found breads like the local pretzels in Kraków, or Obwarzanek. Although they were named as Preceliki Maślane, not Obwarzanek, Preceliki Maślane means "buttered pretzels" in Polish and they looked similar enough to Obwarzanek that we have seen on the street. We bought one with poppy seed to travel with us.

I wished I could take a huge crusty bread with us, too...

The morning shopping was followed by a nice walk in the Planty Park.

We revisited NapNap Cafe for breakfast again. The cafe worked for us because they opened early (8am!) and served hot sweet and savory dishes. Also, the ambience was easy and cozy; the staff seems friendly, too. I had Crème Brûlée French Toasts again. It was as lovely as the first one. J had shakshouka again, but with tofu, not sausages this time. 

We enjoyed walking in the Plenty Park again and got back to the hotel. Through the trip, I learned a lot about Kraków that had a long history and some dark times, indeed. Meanwhile, my most favorite place was the Planty Park as well as the Wieliczka Salt Mine, and my favorite food was Kluski Śląskie as well as Mirror Bistro's Pierogi. Polish dumplings were winners!
