Poland Will Never Forget Nor Forgive
... reached Kutna Hora. We came to a stop at some traffic lights, then turned right to get to where we wanted to go, the famous bone church. You can only go 50km/h in built up areas in Czech, so that was what I was doing. But the policeman a little bit further down the road pulled me over anyway. Apparently for a short stretch near the traffic lights, it was only 40km/h. I didn’t see the sign, the GPS didn’t tell me any different, but the policeman still took €20 ...

Krakow Part 2 (Visit to the Salt Mines)
... work, 20 out of 40 are still there. The large cathedral is quite spectacular. The floor looks like octagonal tiles, but are actually carved into the floor from salt. There are bas reliefs on the wall, depicting biblical scenes carved entirely from salt. The "crystals" on the chandelier are from salt. I believe it was the in the 17th century that this mine began operation and it closed except to tourists in 2002. It was responsible for 30% of the economy back in the ...
