Fun in Warsaw and Krakow

---

After leaving Riga our next stop was Poland - first stop Warsaw. We stayed in a Youth Hostel which of course was up on 4th floor (these hostels always seem to be upstairs). We dumped our gear, had a shower and headed out to check out Warsaw - did the usual initial wander around taking photos but we were quite tired after the overnight bus ride - not much sleep!! Next day we headed off looking for various monuments and then went to a palace with a huge park. There were peacocks everywhere and eveyone was trying to get their photos with their tails up. We managed to get a couple. We also saw squirrels running around and ate a very tasty waffle with cherries and cream - yum.

Next stop was Krakow and the trip to Auschwitz - very depressing. I know there is a guy in Adelaide who insists the holcaust never happened- I do not know how he can say that. But enough of that. The following day Lyn went on the salt mine trip and I chose Schindlers list walking tour which showed a lot of places used in the movie. Met Lyn later in the afternoon and while we were sitting in the square there was a huge downpour and everyone scattered looking for shelter
