Super early start this morning, leaving at 6:00am is not fun, but it was necessary as the train that I usually get at 8:05am does not run on a Sunday, so I was stuck with the 7:05am train. We boarded the train, which was considerably more run down than my usual train and about half an hour in conductors came round and made us buy seat reservations. I knew we would end up needing them! That was nice and embarrassing as I didn't have enough Polish zloty to pay...

It was a very early start this morning as I got up at 5:15 am had breakfast and then proceeded to heard my remaining three passengers to the station to get the train to Krakow, which I love and never seem to get enough time in. We walked about twenty minutes with all our stuff to Kijowska tram station and then went one stop to the train station, we probably could have walked it, (well I could have walked it) but I didn't want to risk complaints. We boarded th...

The one who does not remember history is bound to live through it again. Auschwitz….what does one say about such a place? I navigated my group of six through the streets of Krakow this morning, thankfully able to read the map and not getting lost in the limited time we had to get the Cracow city tour bus. We got on the bus and then were driven out to the largest concentration camp from WWII, a place in which 1.3 million people had been exterminated. We arri...

We were up with the sun today to get our train to Krakow. We walked to the tram station and then got on one stop to the train station, where Sara and I then had to figure out which platform we had to get onto. The woman at the window was most rude and unhelpful, yelling at us in Polish, which we obviously can't understand. We managed to get her to write down the platform number. We got on the train and got settled in carriage ten, right at the back. It too...
