Krakow for two nights
On to Krakow today for two nights, it's great having the 2 night stays, allows you time to do your washing. When we arrive we view the castle and cathedral on Wawel Hill. Nothing much else for today.
Krakow used to be the capital of Poland and the country's largest city. Polish rulers resided at Wawel Royal Castle until the court and parliament moved to Warsaw in 1596.
Wieliczka Salt Mines
Optional excursion to the salt mines, a heritage listed area with beautiful salt sculptures and cathedral down in the mines. No photos were allowed inside unless you paid so I just bought some postcards.
In the evening we went to the optional Polish Polka dinner with some great entertainment and food.

On Complications
... staff had to spend the day wrapping up and protecting artifacts. We had just spent the entire day traveling through floods, freezing temperatures, and delayed trains, and now we couldn't see the one thing we came to Poland for. Huge disappointment. And there we were, 7 hours by train from anything else we had come to see, stuck in a small Polish town with rising flood waters a hundred yards away. We decided to walk the outskirts of Auschwitz to ...
