Rain and chocolates

The Wawel Dragon
Our Guide
Although it was raining, we had a guided tour through Kraków - by foot. We went to the wawel hill, the ancient residency of the polish kings. The wawel hill is home of the The Wawel Dragon, a famous dragon in Polish folklore. We also went to the Wawel Cathedral.
After visiting the wawel hill we walked through the old town where we stopped at St. Mary's Basilica. Every hour a trumpet signal is played from one of the towers. You can even here it in the radio!











After the guided tour we went to Wawel S.A., one of the oldest confectionery plants in Poland. Ms. Kierach, the Marketing Director of Wawel, told us many facts about the company. When we arrived at the company (we had to drive approx. 30 minutes to Dobczyce) Ms. Kierach and the director of production Mr. Winkel showed us around (we even had the chance to try some chocolates). We were surprised how much manual labour is still used in this company! After being guided through the production we stopped at one of the Wawel shops where we could buy chocolates. Very delicious!
