Free Beer?? Where do I sign up?

Free beer...say that to a backpacker you may as well be family. On our last night at Mama's Hostel here in Krakow, the hostel provided free beers for everyone in the hostel from 8pm to 11pm. You have never seen so many people change their Friday night plans so quickly!! There was even a DJ. Ok it was the slightly nutty girl who works behind reception, but she was pumping out the tunes and looked the part.

Later we were taken out to a pretty cool bunch of nightclubs in one building by the staff. Was reasonably impressed with the nightlife in Karkow. Plenty of decent places all quite close together, not like in Prague. Of course, this led to young Sean struggling to keep his drink down (the guy in the bunk below appreciated it...no really!).

This hostel seemed happy to give stuff away. One day there was free fruit (I think I remember what fruit is...) and the following day it was free cake. They were so keen to give stuff away, and like any backpacker I was very keen to take!

It actually turned out to be a great hostel, being so close to what is a very impressive city square in Krakow, and aside from a pretty crappy bathroom situation was one actually a really awesome hostel. There was also a good cheap internet cafe downstairs which also let you make REALLY cheap international calls. Quality.

So now its off further north in Poland...hitting the smaller towns now, so hopefully they are just as impressive!
