Well, our final Eastern Europe trip before we head off on our big finale was a weekend away to the lovely Krakow in
Poland
. It was a great weekend. Krakow itself was beautiful. Undestroyed by the Germans in the war, so it's as it was since the 1200's
Wawel Castle
Street Scape Krakow
Church in Market Square
Fallen Communist Head
We also went to Auschwitz, which was very interesting. Very sobering too. As much as you may have read or seen in other exhibitions or museums (of which we've been to a few on this subject) doesn't ever really prepare you for the actual scale of the sites involved. They are just enormous.
Rail into Birkenau
Hard work freedom
Electric Fences Auschwitz
'Beds' in Birkenau, or Auschwitz camp 2
All in all though, a great weekend away, with lovely weather and food.
Next update will be from South America!!
