Our next stop was Krakow, Poland. We had a very negative train experience to start off the trip. Employees at the worst and tiniest train station in Berlin informed us incorrectly about the time of the train. Long story short, we stood watching our train drive away. This resulted in a night spent in another train station. Yes, sleeping on benches like homeless people. Awesome. We eventually took the train at 5 am to Krakow. After a HORRIBLE night of missed trains, sleeping in stations, unfriendly train staff and an extremely hot and crowded last train to Krakow, we were not too happy. Our mood immediately changed once we saw Krakow and how amazing the city was. We weren’t expecting much, which made it that more amazing! We wished we had more time there!

LOVE the exchange rate in Poland! We splurged on a ton of wine and delicious food for less than 8 euro each!
Since we were so close to Auschwitz and Birkenau, we knew it was something we had to see. Seeing those concentration camps was the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen. Visiting those places is extremely different than just learning about it. Throughout the tours people were silenced by the horrific history that I still cannot believe mankind was capable of.
These were the toilets:
I wouldn't expect Poland to be anything special or a must-see either, but it looks gorgeous.
