Mission to the Czech Republic

So I finally made it into Krakow. Jesse, Gabriel and I took a 2am train and arrived around 6. We spent Friday exploring the Wawel Castle and other sites around the city. The highlight that day was definitley the salt mine! It's a 700 year old, 200km mine with over 40 chapels, statues, and sculptures carved entirely of salt. In the pictures here you can see the largest chapel, with an 8 ton chandelier made of salt crystals. People actually get married here, 130 meters underground! (sorry, I haven't converted that to feet yet). Copernicus was the first visitor to the mine, and it holds the world record for underground bungee jumping. The whole thing felt like something out of an Indiana Jones movie.




















We managed to find a really great restaraunt with awesome Polish food! The nightlife in Krakow was great, although I was so wiped out each night I didn't experience much of it. But I was so glad to finally do some traveling!
