We are in Krakow, Poland

On the way to Old Town Krakow


Found the elevator in the building that was built in 1475






French Onion Soup in a French restaurant





A hallway heater for a good night sleep
A luxury private coach
came to pick us at 5:00 am for a ride to and from Auschwitz, the main focus for Jim's visit


There were hundreds of people ahead of us!


An empty parking lot that would open later


The reception hall

Look at this line!

We have been in line for more than 90 minutes



After purchasing our tickets, we waited in the cafeteria

Jim is making this historical walk at 10:30 am






Plants from the 1940s












This is the gate that thousands of people walked through and died behind it








There is a tower next to the gate






There was a camp orchestra?!


Escapees were standing at this point before they were punished






This urn is holding ashes of a five year old boy



Someone lives very close to this camp now







A plaque about how women were treated here

What about that one red shoe?


















Lots of people were shot against this wall




This is the roll call booth to keep everyone accountable






The map of the crematorium






We were out from the very sad situation
Time to get back to the 21st century Krakow


Our coach driver told us about this castle turned stand alone hotel

Lunch at Morskie Restaurant near the border of Old Town



Lots of wood items in this fancy restaurant

Kaii took a solo walk after lunch, and look!








Wow!



This shop has guns and swords

There is a Chopin Concert Hall across from our hotel

Very close to Czech Republic now

Back to Auschwitz and had a delay for more than two hours

Here is a train to Cracovia (Krakoviak, the folksong), after we were told to leave the DIRECT TRAIN and find our own way to Prague and we had no reservations!

One more stop to Czech Republic

We have made it to Czech Republic and still going west
