Last day in Krakow

We head off to Warsaw tomorrow so today is our last day in Krakow.

We have spent the day wandering around taking photos. It really is so pretty here, we have seen a lot, but I feel there is so much more you could see. Anyone could spend hours walking around the old town looking in shops, drifting from cafe's, to bars and restaurants. It is a gastronomical delight!

We spent yesterday at Auschwitz, we arrived early to get there before the big groups. We ended up being there for over 5 hours. I don't really think I could describe the enormity of the crimes committed in both of the camps. Both museums (the former camps) give a good insight into the devastating loss of lives, it was extremely moving and an experience not to be forgotten. The size of the second camp is beyond belief.

Tonight we will head out for a final feast and will be having an early night. Our train leaves at 7.00 am and it is a half hour walk to the station with out back packs. I truly need the walk to, anything to burn off the extra kilojoules!!

Overall we have truly enjoyed Krakow, I would highly recommend it as a travel destination. History, beauty, food and drink - what more could you ask for!!
