Auschwitz II-Birkenau

We need to remember so that we may not do it again.

We visited Auschwitz which is located about 50 miles (80km) from Krakow. Although, it is one of the most visited places in Poland, I would not call it a sight seeing spot. But I am glad that I had chance to visit.

I will post pictures of Auschwitz and Auschwitz II-Birkenau next week as it might be too graphic to some. Have a good weekend!

Krakow, Poland

Jul

Krakow Poland. Second largest city in poland with 1.5 million people. Their currency is called złoty. 1 złoty is about 27 US cents. It's not much to see in this historic city.

But be careful withdrawing money using ATM … One at the hotel charged me 33 cents per złoty. Luckly, I exchanged only $150.

Stress and Internet

It may be me but there is a direct relationship between the stress level and speed of Internet access. Faster the access is less stress you feel. I was on vacation so I should not be feeling stressed about not having fast Internet, but I really did.

Germany to Italy

Stuttgart to Milan … The air fair was only about $20 … unbelievable. This flight was less than an hour and took us right over Alps. We took a bus to the central station and walked about 10 minuets to the hotel. This hotel had a very good Internet that made us all feel; less stressed.

Rhine Wine and Cruise

Jul

This is supposed to be Germany's Oldest Hotel

Castle on top of the hill is a hotel … I don't want to go up there.

Cheap Dinner

We did Rhine River Excursion … We drove for about an hour and had down stream and got on the boat upstream for about an hour to our restaurant. We had chicken and fresh fries and very small amount of wine tasting. For 80 Euro, I would not recommend it. We saw about 4 castles and explanations were coming from the loud speakers.

I learned that grapes grown around this area are not allowed to use any chemicals ,,, this supposed to be the purest wine in all of Germany.
