Day 2 was interesting, fun, and oh yeah -- we got fined!!!!
So, we jumped on the tram - punched our tickets, and then off we went to the bus station. On the tram we found ourselves being inspected for tickets. So I popped out our tickets that I had stamped and I had double stamped a ticket that I suppose I had used last night -- well, that's not good and its a problem - even though I had spare blank tickets not stamped. So I was told I had to pay a fine for the 1 invalid ticket (100 Zloty - About $42 USD) -- OUCH -- and no grace...oh well I made the mistake so we paid and went on our way. Got to the Bus station and we found the bus, paid the driver, and off to Kornik we went. It had many rooms in the museum part and swords, maces, chain mail, daggers, etc... It was very interesting. Here are some of the photos from the trip. After the Museum we headed back to the Gardens and had a really nice walk around taking in the scenery (even though it was around 32 degrees).
Started the day yesterday after getting a little more sleep and went back to the old town square to get some food at the only open place. In Poland nobody really eats breakfast accept at home...no restuarants are open until around 11am or later. So, we found a pub/pizzeria that was open and we ate some lunch. After that we headed back to the Hotel and grabbed jackets for heading to a Castle (Kornik). The Sheraton staff was very helpful for finding out how we were supposed to get to the Bus station where we could grab a local bus to the Castle.

Lots of commonalities, lots of opportunity, and lots of fun. More to come later.
Blessings,
Gabe & Cheryl
