Daniel,

If you are going by train at this time of year the trainsd should run well 
to 
time. If you can work thee route to give you the opportunity stop on the 
Baltic 
coast - relatively little known to non-Poles and having a wide variety of 
photo 
opps from Hanseatic ports to wonderful, relatively unspoilt beaches at 
places 
like Sopot, to interesting people. Warsaw is well, largely like a lot of 
other 
cities IMHO.

Krakow is something else altogether, but then my family are from there so I 
am 
biased! You might try The Royal (Moderate, Polish-style) Krak?w, 26-29 Sw. 
Gertruda Str, near The Wawel.

My mother uses it quite a bit but hasn't stayed there for a few years. I 
don't 
know it.

have a good journey,

Peter
