Today we needed to travel from Prague to Krakow, which is more than 300 miles. We didn't plan any detailed tours today but we made a learning experience of our lunch stop in Olomouc, Czechia.

Who did we see in Olomouc? Sigmund Freund. He lived in this town for a month as military medical staff |
Some of the monuments in Old Town Olomouc.

Holy Trinity Column, built in the early 1700s. It is the biggest sculptural grouping in Czechia.

The astronomical clock was first built in the 15th Century and was renovated several times.

|
Be the first to let us know why a huge turtle graces Olomouc old town! |
And after more driving, we reached Poland, where we saw our first ground snow during this trip. The snow appears to be a few days old and we hope no new snow will be added.

St Mary's Basilica, Adam Mickiewicz statue, and Christmas decorations. Here in Poland Christmas is celebrated until February 2, Candlemas. |
