Poland & Germany

As I've said in some previous blog posts when I was anxiously anticipating the trip, I had visited Poland and Germany and as promised, I have some good pictures to show you! (This will not be like one of my usual rant blog posts and mostly pictures!)

Firstly, we have some pictures from the Salt Mines, which were very cramped and claustrophobic at some times!

This was near the start of the mines, where we would soon descend even further

After the salt mines, I then visited the Auschwitz concentration camp where I got some pictures. The camp had a weird atmosphere the whole time there...

The blocks where the prisoners were kept

After being in Poland for a few days and visiting the concentration camps, we felt it would be better to visit a happier location, so travelled to Berlin in Germany. Our trip there mostly consisted of shopping, sightseeing and tasting German food...

Well that's most of the good pictures from my time Poland and Germany, I hope you enjoyed this different type of blog post! Let me know in the comments if you think I should do more like this.

All Around The World (Kind of)

So I just wanted to write A short post about something very exciting which will be happening pretty soon. I've known about this 'Exciting thing' for a while now, but I just never really thought it was something I should post about, but things change I guess. Basically, I'm going on a trip around Europe with my school to countries such as Germany, France and Poland. We plan on spending a few days in each country (2 or 3) so we can get through as many as we can while not being away from school for too long.

Of course I plan on taking PLENTY of pictures (This is one of the reasons why I bought my new camera too) and I hope to make another post about the whole experience and also include all of the pictures I took.

Sorry this post is so short, I basically just wanted to do a quick summary instead of a full-out detailed description. If any of you live in Europe comment below what Countries you live in and recommend something that my class can do while we are in your country!
