Wavel castle inside
Whilst I was in Krakow the Polish people celebrated the overthrow of the communists rule. There were a number of events planned. I watched a continuous row of very large tinted window limousines drive up the Wawel Castle flanked by many security people on motor bikes. Whilst this was going on a big demonstration of pro communists was going on in view of the cars. The well built policemen handled the situation well. It made me think about how much the Polish people had gained over the last 20 years, and how the value of freedom and the right to free speech is sometimes glossed over, especially when people get defensive.
