Taste the salinity
... we were shocked to see all the amazing things that have been built within. I kid you not, there are chapels, a ballroom, a souvenir hall, a restaurant and a sound & light show over the saline lake. (Believe it or not, our swing dancing mate was attending a dancing event there this very evening) Plus wax figures around every corner (one of the wax figures is even a real person.... What a job!!)

A taste of Poland
... this would have been a church he knew, and found the cemetary and Bob and I spent about an hour walking through , trying to spot the last names on the gravestones, It was a slow, sad, rainy business. The kids stayed in the car, and we gave up without finding anything, There were a large number of stones without any names visible, so perhaps one of these belonged to a great-grandparent, or other relative, but we had no way of knowing,
