We headed south in Poland on Tuesday 20th

We stopped in Częstochowa, Poland to visit the famous St Paul’s Monastery of Jasna Góra, which houses the Black Madonna painting.

Arriving in Kraków, Poland around 3:45pm, we headed out promptly to the Wieliczka Salt Mine just within the Kraków metropolitan area for a few hours before returning to the hotel and heading out on the town.

On Wed 21st, the next day, we were up early for a guided tour of Medieval Krakow : The Wawel Royal Castle, the Jewish Quarter, Ghetto Heroes Square, the Lonely Chairs, Old Town Market Square (St. Mary's Church) and the Renaissance Cloth Hall.

Late afternoon, putting on our thinking hats, we visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum** in Oświęcim, Poland before returning to the city for evening out in the neighborhood.
