Across the road from our Airbnb was a tobacco factory converted into a restaurant, Międzymiastowa, that served breakfast - our Airbnb host told us it was a good place to get a coffee and with the coffee, you could pay 1 złoty (~30 cents) to get breakfast. Neither of us drink coffee, so we ended up just ordering the breakfast which costs more than coffees and breakfast but the nice waitress just charged us for coffees (that we didn't even order) so we could get it cheaper. Breakfast was good! Waffles with salmon and a poached egg for Calvin and ratatouille with eggs, bread and sausages for Kate. We walked through the Old Town to get to the Vistula River and the Wawel Dragon at the bar of Wawel Hill. The dragon is meant to breathe fire every five minutes but he must have been sick that day because we stood there for 10 minutes waiting for him to spit it out but he never did. Perhaps he had a winter's cold? Calvin gave him a tickle on his foot to see if that would trigger anything - it didn't. After a quick lunch at home (instant barszcz with pierogi ruskie from Carrefour), our next stop was just out of the main part of Krakow city - the Kościuszko Mound. This mound was made in honour of Tadeusz Kościuszko, a general of Polish and American armies, a national hero and seen as the last defender of an independent Poland. It stands 35.5 metres high and has criss crossing paths from the base to the top which means walking around it, you can see a 360 degree view of Krakow. At the top is a wonderful view of the city. As we were a little bit short of time, Calvin ran up the hill to get some pictures and was surprised to see Kate strolling up to the top of the mound only a couple of minutes behind - she swore she didn't run. Enjoying the views and taking in the size of Krakow (it's a really big city being the former capital of Poland) was a nice way to see it from a different perspective.  Time to head to Auschwitz. We had a guided tour booked for 2:30 pm and got there just in time. It was quite confusing to navigate the process. The parking was paid parking but the people collecting money didn't look very official at all. It was also hard to know where to go - the entrances weren't marked out very well and we ended up just tailing other people hoping we were going in the right direction. We made it to our group, equipped with headphones and receivers so our tour guide could speak to whole group as we walked around. The tour went for 3.5 hours and went through Auschwitz I and Auschwitz-Birkenau. It was really interesting and sad learning about the atrocities that took place here. The amount of people who suffered and died in those camps was staggering and hard to believe some of the stories we heard. The place was huge, especially Aushwitz-Birkenau, and we were able to go into the blocks where the prisoners had to live in overcrowded spaces ruled by German criminals. We saw photos of the victims in blue-striped pyjamas with their name, origin, date of birth, date of deportment and date of death - some of the victims were only in camp a few weeks before they died, either from hunger, hard work, diseases from terrible living conditions or shot due to "political reasons". It was hard to believe that sometimes, inmates would have to sleep next to a dead person simply because there were too many bodies for cremation already. We stood in one of the gas chambers in the crematoriums which made it all too real. It was definitely a tour worth doing and extremely insightful.  It took about an hour to get back home and we headed out straight for dinner. Bar Smak was the place to go for cheap and excellent Polish food - tonight it was potato pancakes (placki ziemniaczane) with mushroom sauce for Calvin and pancakes rolled around cottage cheese, cabbage, and mushrooms for Kate, plus a plate of cabbage pierogi to share. Such good food!
