Spent an enjoyable weekend in Krakow visiting the Christmas markets and sampling the local dumplings and Vodka. Sunday was a day trip to the death camps, a truly sombre experience but one I would recommend to all to put on their bucket list.
Whilst i have seen the images and films based on the camps nothing prepares you for the sight in broad daylight, and in freezing temperatures to bring home the reality of what happened there so many years ago. To walk through the gas chambers and along the infamous railway line that leads to the selection area, treading the steps of the millions that perished - mind blown!
