Munich and Krakow

Czesc everyone!

Just a quick update on iPhone so no photos unfortunately. Will try get photos up when we can.

We are now in Athens and will be traveling to the Greek islands tomorrow morning.

After our last few days horse riding and rafting in Cesky, we travelled by car to Munich. Known as the beer capital of the world for good reason. Around the city there were many beer halls and beer gardens capable of accommodating up to 10,000 beer drinkers. Typical German sausage, schnitzel and pork knuckle were great accompaniments to the beers. During our time here we visited BMW World, took a bike tour around the Munich streets and went on a tour of Allianz Arena (Bayern Munich's football stadium).


Before we knew it we were flying off to Poland, where we stayed in the city of Krakow. We all loved our stay here. The massive town square had many shops and sights to see that are lucky to remain standing after Germany invaded Poland in world war 2. Krakow is by far the least expensive city we have been to. Though we don't like to admit it, a lot of the time was spent shopping. We all got polish haircuts too. Photos to come of course. Pete has a hair cut resembling Manto (he looks hot).
Our second day in krakow saw us visit Auschwitz concentration camp, which was the biggest nazi concentration camp where over 1 million prisoners were executed including all the women and children the Germans caught. This was the main extermination area during the holocaust. The tour was a real eye opener we will never forget. Walking into the gas chamber and past the 'wall of death' was a real moving experience.
On a lighter note, polish food and polish vodka is amazing. Pierogi (little dumplings) were our favourite of the cuisine. We enjoyed many varieties of vodka including a plum vodka weighing in at 72% alcohol. Good times followed.


Not sure if will have good internet on the Greek islands, so if we don't get to update you guys will here from us in Italy next week! We all send our love to family and friends back home. Goodnight!
