In March 2005, I visited Poland - Zakopane and Krakow. I spent the first 4 days in Zakopane learning to snowboard and 2 days in Krakow doing a bit of sightseeing. These are the pics from that trip.
Zakopane
General photos of Zakopane. Taken on the first day there.
Kasprowy Wierch
The big slope. It's where the more experienced skiers go. I went up in the cable car and took some photos. No snowboarding for me!
Auschwitz - Birkenau
All over the world, Auschwitz has become a symbol of terror, genocide, and the Holocaust. It was established by the Nazis in 1940, in the suburbs of the city of Oswiecim which, like other parts of Poland, was occupied by the Germans during the Second World War. The name of the city of Oswiecim was changed to Auschwitz, which became the name of the camp as well.
Krakow
Krakow - I spent my final 2 nights in Poland in this fine city. Saw some of the main sites.
