Holiday travelogue
Another yummy breakfast after a late start due to overindulgence the night before. All the others set off for Auschwitz, while I set off to investigate the large crowd I could see gathered in the distance where a procession passed earlier. I discovered a massive outdoor church service in the grounds of a huge church and decided to stay to listen, as although I couldn't understand it as it was obviously in Polish, the music and singing was wonderful. At the end of the service the most spectacular parade of religious icons, priests, nuns, monks and a whole host of people in all different, what appeared to be national dress, filed past. I learned afterwards that it was an annual ceremony in honour of Poland's national saint.
