Visited Auswitch yesterday. There was some sort of Jewish holiday, Yom haShoah I think, so there were a lot of Jewish folk wandering about. This made the experience a lot more unusual, especially as there were a some Germen tourist in German football tops viewing the camp as well. I had expected the visit to be very harrowing but there was so much to take in and the true horror of it all was so incomprehensible that I left feeling more numb than anything else.
Then went to the salt mines in Wielicyka near Krakow. The miners there have carved many statues into the walls and built a giant underground cathedral.
Quite a cultural day really!
Today I went shopping.
Found a shop that sells english newspapers, albeit a day old.
Bought a pile of silver jewelry as it is really cheap over here and got the last of my gifts for people back home.
