Yesaterday we got the train to Krakow in order to do the Auschwitz camp as a day trip. It cost about fifty quid and also took 7 and a half hours, which was a very. long. time. but we maanged to make it fly so it was fine. we are getting really good at being content or in the zone on long train journeys! Nothing else exciting happened apart from that I made ANna laugh so hard that she choked on her strawberry soft drink (which cost the equivalent of about 20 p - j...
