Since finding a clean, accessible public bathroom can sometimes be difficult, here’s a hot tip! Quite by chance, I ventured in to the neater regions of the Town Hall Tower in the Krakow market square. Actually, I was looking for a way to the top, but instead followed a staircase that led down to a bar. It was almost deserted, but there was a pristine, well appointed public bathroom. Of course, there was a one zloty charge, but in this case, I considered it well worth the money. It’s a great location too. An area where many tourists, obviously spend a lot of time, and might need to go.

Baltic Express no longer running?
July 13, 2008I was told that the Baltic Express had been discontinued with the summer schedules starting in May, because of the lack of passengers. The only train into Lithuania is now the 7.53 am train to Sestokai.
We arrived in Sestokai to find a Lithuanian train waiting across the platform, headed to Kaunas. As it was about to leave, there was no time to run to the ticket office to buy a ticket. I asked a conductor and he said to get on the train and buy the ticket there. I did this with some trepidation, having heard of problems. However, I asked another conductor, who gladly sold me a ticket to Kaunas for 10 Litu. I would recommend to travellers prepare themselves by bringing about 20 or 30 Litu with them from Poland, so they can buy an onward ticket; I wouldn’t want to have to looked for a currency exchange office in Sestokai.
