Short notice from Krakow

On Wednesday, we took a night train from BP, and we were supposed to change trains at a station. We asked several station officers which station should we get off, but they did not say anything. Having no clue about that, we just got on a train and heard an another station officer in Czech explained something in Czech language. We did not understand it completely but he seemed to try to show us the station we arrived at 2AM is the one which we were supposed to transfer. So we did it, just followed his order. But it turned out that we had to wait for 4 hours for the next one. That means we were forced to sleep with homeless ppl in a station until the next morning. From that time, our travel had changed to be unusual and unpredictable one.

We have just returned from Auschwitz-Birkenau. There, we saw, smelt, listened, felt, touched the prison. Well, I do not think I can describe how I was feeling but one thing I can say is that the history is real. The real history is there. That is it.

Krakow is beautiful. Guys at this hostel are really nice, friendly and useful :) Tomorrow, we are heading for the capital, hoping more fun and surprise will come up.
