Poznan --> Krakow, Poland!
Here we are in Poznan, Poland! The second installment of our organized study tour. Even though it seems like a completely random place to visit, Poznan actually had a lot of cool stuff. It felt very stereotypical in the Eastern European sense. A lot of buildings still look very communist in design which was interesting. This was their main square though and it was pretty cool. The coloured houses reminded me of Copenhagen.
This was our last night together after a week of traveling to Berlin and now Poznan. This was our Medical Practice and Policy Group A at the local Brew Pub. The food was excellent and they had great selection of beers. This trip was unbelievable and the people were all really interesting and it was just awesome to meet all of them.
Now for traveling with my high school best friend Peter! We just arrived by train from Poznan in Krakow, Poland! Here I am with Goodbye Lenin Hostel in our background. It was a little sketchy but a nice hostel in any case. I guess you always meet interesting people when you stay at hostels and this was no exception! But the people were really helpful here and there was a good breakfast provided! Always a good thing.
This was our first excursion in Krakow, it was the Salt Mines! These are the stairs that are taken about 135 meters below ground.... Round and round and round until you finally reach the bottom. Then they take you on a guided tour around the tunnels and passages, with so many cool salt sculptures. It's ridiculous the stuff that they have down there and to believe that it's all made out of salt, even more impressive! The air is apparently very mineral filled and it smelled really fresh and cool. It's weird though that you are breathing such "fresh" air way below the ground!!
A random miner that we found and had to take a picture with hahha.
