The city of pilgrims...

July 22,2009

As we say goodbye to Krakow, i take my last pictures of the beautiful city. We board the train to Czestochowa ( 2.5 hour train ride) and then we check into our hotel, Hotel Sekwana.

Off we go to visit the city of pilgrims! Our tummies are hungry so we stop at one of the convents around the Jasna Gora sanctuary, here the nuns serve home made meals.



After lunch we got to visit Jasna Gora, here is where we saw the black Madonna. There were so many people at the sanctuary, it was actually quite overwhelming.
We then later on went to visit the Jasna Gora cannons.

It was a calm day of just walking around and taking pictures. We enjoyed have some down time.

Later that day we took a 20 min bus ride to the Olsztyn Castle which is just outside of Czestochowa city.
