Mmmm...Salty
... was the cathedral where even the chandeliers where made from carved rock salt (we were not able to lick these). They even hold weekly mass down there!
The tour went for about 2 hours before we were able to ascend to the surface in a 9-person lift that should really only hold no more than 5.
