... been kept almost completely intact and it was very easy to picture the living conditions of the prisoners. We walked in the mud to the barracks where up to 8 people would sleep on one wooden bunk level. There were flowers and candles scattered throughout the camp and along the railway tracks, places there by tourists come to pay their respects. There were large groups of Israeli high schoolers with flowers and flags who all ...

... 1 was much smaller and the majority of the killings happened at Birkenau-we took the bus ride out there and again did not speak much during the tour. I am only glad that I did not do the tour by myself so that I had someone else to talk to later as it really was a bit overwhelming. We are very glad that we drove so far to go to it, however.

I'm glad I didn't try and do the Auschwitz (Oswiecim) concentration camps in an afternoon like I thought I would. I arrived at 10:30 and didn't leave until 5pm. The camp is free to enter, but if you arrive, between 9 and 3 you need to pay for a guided tour. It sounds a bit of a rip off, but unless you are a history brainiac and already know all the history of the camp, the guide is worth every cent (Zloty). The guided tour includes both KZ Auschwitz I and KZ Auschwitz ...

... over to the shower area where people were stripped of all their belongings and dignety as well. Then it was over to the ponds where they scattered the ashes of all those that them burned. After a full day of this type of thing I was done with seeing such disgusting history. It was time to head back to Krakow and check into the Lemon Hostel. It seems that most of the people that were staying there were refugees from the STranger Hostle and we had a good ...

... We went back to the main square and went into St Mary's church there where there was the most sensational alterpiece, sculpture type thing with 2.3m figurines depicting Mary falling asleep surrounded by the apostles. It was huge and absolutely stunning. Pity you couldn't take photos :( In the evening we had the most amazing Pierogi (savoury Polish dumpling things) and caught our overnight train to Prague.

... over to the B&B, who charged nearly nothing to do it for us (we found out later that it was because they line dry the clothes, and we ended up having to wait two days to get it because it rained), and began the formal Krakow walking tour. For the next four hours, we completed three guided walks and a hike up to a famous castle. We walked down historic streets filled with shops, found makeshift art galleries, and peeked in a McDonalds hidden in an old Gothic cellar. We saw an ...

... hours before kickoff. Every host city has a "Fan Fest" area which is ped-only specifically for the World Cup fans. These fan fests are littered with food and beer stands as far as the eye can see and packed to the brim with fans from all over the world gathering not necessarily to celebrate or cheer on their own teams, but more to celebrate the World Cup and futbol in general. The great thing I have seen throughout the World Cup is the comraderie among futbol fans in general ...

This place was great. I loved the town Square it was beautiful. the city around the main area you can definatly tell is still comming out of communism but it well on the right track. there are many beautiful things to see and fun things to do, expecially on a students budget.

Auschwitz II skulle opprinnelig kunne ta imota 100.00 fanger. Men på det meste var det 250.000 fanger her, og man lå opptil 12 fanger i en seng. I januar 1942 startet man med de første gassingene med Zyklon-B i gasskammer I (Bunker I ...
