Kraków-Budapest Trip - Part I

From April 15-17 I was in Krakow, Poland's former capital and commonly said to be the most beautiful city in the country. It's one of the only cities that wasn't completely destroyed in WWII.
We also visited nearby Wieliczka but I have no photos of it because you had to pay to take pictures. It's Poland's salt mine, because mining is still popular here. It was really neat to go underground and see all of the interworking of the mines.
We also visited Auschwitz and Birkenau, the most known concentration camps in Poland.

    You're going to have to take that fact up with Rebecca, I guess. :)

    Prudence looks shifty eyed like she's on some kind of cannabis induced paranoia trip. =P

    D'awww. I miss Prudence. Remind CJ that she's mine though. >_> And I didn't really like the Nazis before, but those Auschwitz photos kind of reminded me to hate them even more.

    I have visited Kraków but I haven't been in Auschwitz. I have seen another concentration camp- in Majdanek near Lublin.

    Reply from Kate:
    I have also been to Majdanek. It's more powerful than Auschwitz in some ways.

    This photo is heartbreaking! It sure tells the story of how horrible things were. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us Kate.
