I have returned from Poland! I'm safe and sounds. Just about. I had a really good and interesting time. I'm very glad I went. Heres some pics and stuff (copied and pasted from MB)
Here are some Polish pics however I warn you some are disturbing.
Us at the airport. Me, vikki, abi, manda ray and charlotte:)
This is from the first day. We got a tram into the city centre.
The cloth hall
A tower where, every hour, on the hour a man plays a trumpet to remind everyone of when a man did to warn people of the city enemies were coming however he was shot in the neck with an arrow.
And it started snowing. I nearly got frost bite cos we walked from the centre of the city, to the edge and back again while it was raining/snowing. It went in my shows. I tried ringing my socks out in the pharmacy and discovered by whole foot was red and freezing minus my little toe which was white and I couldn't feel it.
The sign should tell you what this is.
There were mimes in Krakow. He gave you things that made big bangs:D
Another mime
Warning! Distressing tales and pictures:(
The entrance to Auschwitz. It says "work sets you free"
A sign warning the people that they will be killed if they go nearer.
Bags used by the people who were sent there.
False limbs. All of the people that used these were killed as they were incapable of work.
Canisters that held the poison gas.
Hair of the people that were killed there. This was used to make fabric.
The huts and remainders of huts where they used to live.
The inside of one.
There was another 2 places I did not take a picture of. One was a gas chamber. I can't forget this site. It was small seeing how many people it could kill. There scratches all over the walls. Obviously from human hands. The other was a place called death wall. It was a wall where people were shot when they were found guilty of fictious crimes. It was so cold in this court yard and very distressing.
We went a salt mine too and everything was made of salt. there walls, ceilings, statues, chapels everything!
And finally. Last night Manda and Abi stood infront of a light and projected this on to the walls of krakow.
