After a big breakfast at the pension, we left for Poland with a number of stops along the way to take in MORE castles, churches, historic towns. No border crossing between Slovakia and Poland so once again, it was a breeze. Our first impression upon entering Poland was not great but within a half hour drive north of the border there was quite a transformation. The country side was rolling hills, trees and brilliant green grass. It was refreshing to see some pride of ownership again. 80% percent of the Pol's maintain their yards meticulously with beautiful flower gardens, manicured grass that looks like a golf green and bright colored houses that instantly make you feel happy. The definite highlight of the day was checking into the Hotel SW Norberta in Hebdow, Poland. This fabulous 5 Star resort was once a monastery built in 1160. The monastery & cathedral have been completely restored and the rooms are absolutely beautiful. The hotel is nestled in the countryside just 20 kilometres from Krakow. We loved it so much we extended our stay to 3 nights and will probably ad another. http://www.hotelswnorberta.pl/
The weather has been cool and wet the last few days but I don't mind getting a break from the hot and humid weather we have had since arriving.
