Polish Dreams

We are writing from Prague, a far cry from Krakow. How we seem to miss Krakow. A land of beautiful woman and cheap food and drinks. It seemed to have everything one would want from a Distant holiday spot. Mundo hostel was an amazing hostel that was very clean with an amazing staff. One ting that we later learned was that outside the hostel was a Brothel. We never entered and it never caused us any concern. I suppose it added to the ambiance and the character of the city. We took full advantage of the city and its surroundings. We made our way on an organized tour of Aushwitz and the death camps. Truely a sad and overwheming experience but something that needs to be experienced and understood. The actual size of the camps and the silence that surrounded the capms was spooky and hard to believe at times. We captured some images that we hope will help people understand the sadness we enountered. We will never forget our short time there but since I have been I think of it Everyday. Poland proved to be very cheap which was great for us but at the same time you wondered about the locals who struggled to get by. Krakow was a verry clean and toursity destination but you had the feeling that a short distance outside the city center it became very poor. We made excellent friends in our hostel and partied pretty hard in a variety of clubs and pubs. We truely miss Poland and hope to make it back some day. Full of history and beautiful people making our stay one of the best stops on the whole trip. So we have spent a night in Prague but it does not seem to hold the same flavour as Krakow did or Barcelona did. We will try to make the best of it and enjoy all Prague and the surrounding area has to offer and soon we will be in Amsterdam and beyond. Ciao
