Kraków

It's getting really difficult to write these now because everything has started merging into one big bloop!

Kraków was really nice. I just think that I really like Poland (Nessa, taking you next time to convert menus for me... I sucked at that).

The first full day there, we went to Auschwitz. We all know that I hate history and the whole thing bores me, and I'd love to say that being there wiped that all out, but it didn't really. It was interesting at first, but the Auschwitz first part (the museum) was pretty much a textbook cut out and stuck on walls.

I really likes the visual stuff though, like seeing the bunks, the toilets, and reading about how they killed them and stuff. But the reading part just wasn't for me. We went in the gas chambers though, which was horrible, there were scratch marks on the wall and everything. It's all a bit surreal how it was real life.

The second day, I got burnt. It's going to rain, they said. Thunderstorms, they said. How about 32 degrees all bloody day! Should have learnt from living in England never to trust the weather.
We walked up to the palace which was really pretty, and also found the dragon which comes from a story of how Krakow got its name!

I even know the full story, feel free to ask me on a later date ;) Or google it... probably a better idea, I'm not the best at rambles.

We also ate a lot, went to a market, ate the best icecream in the world ever (no exaggeration) and went to the jewish quarter to pass some time (our night train wasn't till 21:54).
It was very hot and there were a fair few school trips going on, but I really liked it.
I think I might become one of those 39-year-old Poland travellers!
