KRAKOW and the pope

in a drought

Marg and me at happy hour just after we arrived in Krakow..well just as well we enjoyed our beers as shortly after this, I set off uptown with some others to have dinner and en route ran into the pope- waiting crowds as per previous post. So after we'd seen his holiness we headed into the town square and sat down to eat. When the waiter arrived we ordered wine, which we were told we couldn't have "because of the pope" - well at least that's what we thought anyway.
so had dinner, got back to the hotel (Sheraton - nice) and there on our beds was a letter from the management telling us that as per" special rule dz u 200685588, the Polish government had made the decision to prohibit the sale and serving of alcohol in the city for 3 days in respect of the papal visit"!!!!!!!!!! Bugger!!!!!! 3 dry days in Krakow - not a bloody drink to be had and Aussies on holidays----what were they thinking?????????????The Romans don't live like this do they?
