Krakow, Poland Salt Mines, and the Dark NAZI past

Ok, this is a bit of a rush job again, still have to get a few more posts out of the way before I get to the really exciting stuff...

Krakow, has salt mines, you may think, WTF big deal, but they have been mined for the last 7-800 years, and now been changed into a touristy thing, there are something like 300+km of tunnels, we explored like 1% of it, and it took almost 4 hours, (I did the extra bit at the end, in my option it was well worth it)...

A bit of a shock, was the price, poland has been super cheap till now, they wanted 68z +10 for my camera, thats like $40nzd, is no way I would pay that at home for it... anyway... it was a guided tour... WTF...

So tempted if I get married to have it here! ;-)


The Darker side of Polish History, Death Camps or Aushwitz Birkenau there were 2 camps.... 6 million people died here at the hands of the Nazis.. the pictures explain themselves...
