Travels to Piwniczna, Kosarzyska, Łomnica, Stary i Nowy Sącz

Just back from 10 days hiking and sightseeing in Piwniczna-Zdrój, et al

We took a train to Piwniczna via Kraków, Nowy Sącz and then from Nowy Sącz took a taxi to our noclegi, Pod Kasztanami which is on the Rynek square in Piwniczna.The food there is good -- heavy góral stuff!  The staff is friendly (it's a family run noclegi) and the bed are very nice.  I would recommend them to all (have given them a good review on tripadvisor

And the hiking routes were wonderful.  We went to Kosarzyska, Łomnica etc.  The weather was nice -- around 15 C.

We then came to stay a couple of nights in Nowy Sącz with a school friend of the wife's and dropped in on a lot of her ex-neighbours and school friends.  Spent about 2 hours in Stary Sącz which is quite enough to see all there is to see here -- just a beautiful Cathedral and another nice Church and you're done, the rest of the town jest brudne.

W Nowym Sączu spotkalismy się z starzymi sądsiadkami żony i kolegami szkolimi.

On Saturday we decided to spend a couple of hours in Kraków on the way back.  It's always a beautiful city to stop in and have a look around.
