We chose to not have a guide which allowed us to wander around in our own time, paying our respects quietly to those that lost their lives, and we saw nothing but respectful behaviour from our fellow visitors, young and old.

Day 18: Krakow
So. After a pretty rubbish nights sleep (still feeling ill), we got up in Krakow and checked out of yet another hostel.
