Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 5

Food/Travel 2017 – Krakow, Day 3

Saturday, 11th/Sunday, 12th November 2017 – Kingston-upon-Hull (Hull) This was a much shorter visit than the one in May, as we only stayed one night (at the splendidly-located City Centre Premier Inn right by The Deep) and arrived an hour or so before the start of the performance we were there to see, the “Last…
