Just behind Our Lady's Church in Krakow there is a small tea house. We passed it several times and I knew that I had to have a cup, a mug of tea there some time. The opportunity came one afternoon when I needed to rest my feet, needed travel diary writing time, while Terje still wanted to walk along. We decided to split (the one and only hour during our five days in Krakow), and while Terje explored "new" streets and corners, I sat down with my moleskin and my guidebooks.
From the window in Demmer's Teahouse I could see over to Our Lady's church. The beautiful church with the lovely twin towers from where I enjoyed the trumpet music at all hours of the day.

Pages were filled in my moleskin from our visit inside the church, where the highlight is Veit Stoss' s triptych altar called The Lives of Our Lady and her Son Jesus Christ
The altar was made between 1477 and 1489, and the complete altarpiece consists of more than 200 carved figures.
By the way - the tea was lovely, when Terje came back I had just ended the pot, and I bought a bag of Mieszanka Wawelska to take home.
