Alrighty. Home stretch here folks.

Tip number 6, if you don't get it then just LET IT GO. You know when you're in a relationship and things aren't going well and your friends tell you to just let him go and if he really loves you then he'll come back to you. Well, uh, I mean, you ladies know what I'm talkin' about, right? Well, it's the same with shopping. If you do not buy something and then later you wish you ...

I'm at the Auschwitz Camp this morning.... This morning i was suppose to have breakfast at the Hostal, but the guy i told yesterday didn't understand my english and didn't make a note to have breakfast, so i went to McD. I went there cuz i am going on a Tour of Auchewzie today. They came around 8:40 and picked me up. It was cool cuz i met a Canadian guy from Toronot that is ...

... the salt and water out of the mines. The salt was actually dark grey, due to the impurities that were later culled out before selling the salt. There were several sculptures and statues that were carved out of salt by the miners over a period of time on their off time. You would think that after working all day they would want to get out of the mines, but some were passionate about their work and the mines enough to do their artwork.

... regardant vers le sol, certaines sont belles, d'autres grimaçantes, il y a aussi un démon cornu et une femme baillonée. Quel dommage que les photos soient interdites! Les plafonds, qu'on regarde rarement vallent le coup d'oeil. Ces salles sont souvent décoré avec des tapisseries flamandes, des tableaux Rennaissance italiens ou flamands. On peut ...

Today we went to the Concentration Camp of Auschwitz and Auschwitz-Birkenau. It was a very trying experience for us both. We got to see what the prisoners had to live like, plus it was under 0 Celsius and snowing the entire time. Just visiting was hard, I wouldn't have made it in the concentration camp. I will do the camp and my visit there justice once I actually sit down and think out my thoughts.

... and leave flowers. From there, we hit the castle. I am not really one for castles, but as far as castles go, this was a nice one with all the necessary Baroque finishings and a bell tower with great panoramic views of the city. We rubbed a wall claiming to have great chakra energy (can't hurt, right?), and grabbed some grub at a local milk bar. These are cheap cafeteria-like eateries initially set up during the communist era when the government would pick up the tab. Apparently ...

... square of Krakow, the big attraction of this town. It was quite beautiful, with typical European architecture, but very colourful, very grand and full of life. However, we did give the edge to Wroclaw as the most beautiful square - perhaps because it is slightly smaller and less touristy and not quite so much scaffolding! In the evening, after a bit of shopping, it was back to the hotel to pack our bags for our next room change (our hotel graciously offered to move our bags for us ...

October 15, 2005 (Saturday) We left Paris about 1 hour later than the scheduled flight time, so we arrived at Krakow after midnight. Since neither Matt nor I speak Polish, we arranged every single thing through the Krakow tour desk that I found through internet ...
