Auschwitz Birkenau Tour | Oświęcim Poland | The thing that affected me most was unexpected!15/11/2024 A trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau, what a horrible place!Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp, operated in German-occupied Poland during WWII. Over 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were murdered there. It remains a stark symbol of the Holocaust's atrocities. Visiting both Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka Salt Mine in a single day proved to be a mistake. While I anticipated the emotional weight of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the sheer scale of the tragedy and the long hours of the tour left me drained. The subsequent visit to the salt mine, though fascinating, felt jarring and disrespectful to the solemn experience I had just endured. It's a lesson learned: Auschwitz-Birkenau deserves its own day, allowing for proper reflection and processing of the horrors it represents. However the thing that affected me most with Auschwitz-Birkenau wasn't anticipated...

I visited the amazing Wieliczka Salt Mine in KrakowThe Wieliczka Salt Mine, near Krakow, Poland, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's one of the world's oldest salt mines, operating continuously from the 13th century until 1996. Today, it's a popular tourist attraction, showcasing stunning underground chambers, intricate salt carvings, and centuries of mining history. While the Wieliczka Salt Mine is a fascinating historical site, it's important to consider your energy levels, especially if you've the same day done the emotionally demanding Auschwitz-Birkenau tour as I did. Combining these two tours in one day can be quite tiring and may not allow for the full impact of each experience. So I wouldn't recommend doing that.

The nicest and most relaxing fish spa that I ever tried!According to the legend, Turad became the trunk and Pintas became the branches, and together they would form the huge Balete tree. The tree is believed to be 400 years old and considered as the oldest and largest in the island of Siquijor. Below the tree is a natural spring flowing directly to a man-made pool. So today if you go there, you can enjoy the nicest fish spa that I ever tried. But beware there are some big fish in the pond as well! Going to Bohol Highest Peak, but I failed!
As I was doing my road trip around Bohol I wanted to take the motorbike to the Bohol Highest Peak. Which by the way it’s not the same as Mt. Matunog which is the very top of Bohol. But the funny thing they are located in the same area and are also roughly the same height around 800 meters over the sea. But sorry to say, I failed!
