A kind passerby decided to inform the local fire service that our van was on fire!

Krakow's emergency service turned up in full force: two police cars, two fire engines and one ambulance - all for a log burner that was a little smokey on startup. After our greetings and farewells from the emergency services we savoured the delights of Krakow, listening to klezmer in the Jewish quarter and jazz in a basement bar just off the old town.
