DAY 6 - Warsaw, Krakow

9.6.2019

We had an early morning and breakfast in the hotel before a bus ride from Warsaw to Krakow (about 5 hours). We arrived and had a traditional lunch at a local restaurant/hotel. We then visited the Wieliczka salt mines in the area, which is one of the 12 objects on UNESCO's world cultural and natural heritage list. We toured for about 2 and half hours and it was really amazing to see 700 years of history. A favourite in the mines was the largest underground church in Europe, which had many sculptures made of salt as well as elaborate chandeliers and artwork from local students. Everyone was happy to catch the elevator back after walking steps down to 160m below the surface. 

After a short bus ride hotel we had free time in the evening. Most of us chose to walk around the stunning old town (which features a large church tower and many birds in the square) and visit local restaurants for traditional cuisine (or pizza in some cases!).

The sunset was beautiful and the city is very unique. We all feel as though we could spend far longer in this beautiful city.
