Having ditched my Lonely Planet book somewhere in Italy I arrived in Poland oblivious to the fact that the Auswitch Concentration Camp was just a short bus ride away from Krakow. While this wasn't the happy easy going day I was hoping for I decided that it was a must-see.
I arrived at the site with a guy from the hostel who had been traveling about the same amount of time as me. A rarity at this stage in the game coming up to around seven months. We met and split a few times during the day as I take too many pictures and he reads English slowly.

As I did the non-organzied tour option I didn't have a lot of time to see the museum but I did feel like I got to see what I wanted so I was satisfied. The mood was somber and the facts atrocious. I am glad that I went but ready to return to pretty buildings and museums.
Halt!
