Day 3: 2nd of August

I woke up very early, at around 7 AM to have a shower and breakfast. As yesterday breakfast was the same, milk, cereals, yoghurt and a toast. After breakfast we met at the hostel entrance for a tour to Auschwitz which was already prepaid, it costed me about 125 zloty. It was a big deal because they came to pick us by van at the hostel entrance at 8 AM. It was a 1h and half long drive and I slept in the car.

Once we arrived we waited for our English Guide and we started walking around the camp of Auschwitz, it was a bit scary what the nazis could do in the past, I will skip details, it's better you read about it or go there.

The visit to Auschwitz first camp took like 1 h and half.

After visiting Auschwitz we were driven to the camp of Birkinau which was some km away and was even more huge, we walked around and took some pictures from the main tower.

At 12 30 PM we finished the visit of both camps so we headed back to the van to come back to Krakow at around 2 PM.

At the hostel I requested info to go to Schindler Factory to visit a museum of a man who helped some Jews escape the nazis in the 2nd WW.

Before going there I headed to Old Town square to have lunch and found a restaurant called Cechowa, Internet reviews were good but the meal was so so, but the price was very cheap, like 40 zloty for a big dish of Polish pierogi dumplings, a dish of meat with radish sauce and cabbage (the sauce and the cabbage were so watery, I did not enjoy it) and a beer.

So, after that average lunch I took the tram from Grodzka street to Schindler Factory and went in, it was quite interesting, they have lots of stuff related to II WW.

After the visit to Schindler Factory I was so tired so I headed back to the main Old Town Square by tram and went around and soaked my feet to the fountain again. On my way back to home I bought a Poland soccer t-shirt of Lewandoswky and a scarf of Poland.

Once I was back to the hostel I had Polish food for dinner, the staff from the hostel made us like a pizza bread, Zapiekanka. It was so tasty and totally for free.

After this we started with drinking games again, Chris with his drinking games, haha, dirty pictionary WTF, lol. Anyway I went to bed at 11 PM because next day I had a tour at 8 30 AM in the Salt Mines of Wielizcka.
