Another day in Poland

Lets seeee, what is new?

Found out the Hostel here has, bed bugs, and I found out with lovely bites all over! So tried to clean everything, but dryer and washer are broken. Yeah, not a good choice on the hostel here, but gladly there are enough nice people here and Poland is really wonderful! My cold is mostly gone, but still my nose is running still, but got some medicine for that too.
Not gotten the best luck here in Poland, but I'm gladly still having a fun time. Everything is really cheap here and that makes the extra costs I have, not bad to deal with. Trying to enjoy myself here, but when your sick and smoking is allowed everywhere, makes it hard to get motivated.

Now for side trips, I need to get a decent look at Krakow with a full walking tour and get to the salt mines here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wieliczka_Salt_Mine.

However I have been to the German death camp at Auschwitz "which is the German name for the town" and that was quite horrific. Pretty shocking to think anything that horrible happened there. All the stories they told and the photos or items. Plus many of the buildings are still there. Just shocking to think that anyone could be that horrible to another human being. The LOWEST number of people killed was 1 million, but perhaps as high as 1 and a half million. Many records were destroyed so it is hard to tell. Plus no graves really, just ovens going. So just shocking overall, but important to see. Though thats the last of the WW2 history for me on this trip. It really is the most depressing history, so kinda burned out on the history of human suffering!

Anyway, not much else new today. Will send post cards and just lay about trying to feel better. Maybe take a quick look again at this wonderful Polish city!
