One of the less attractive aspects of travel is laundry. So today after breakfast we set off to a laundromat which took 30 minutes to walk, around 1.5 hours for wash and drying cycles and 30 minutes coming back. So while we lost the morning we still had the afternoon to explore Prague one last time.

A group of us from the tour organised to purchase a 4 activities package that provided us with 1) a hop on hop off ticket, 2) a river cruise ticket, 3) a walking tour of the Jewish Quarter, and 4) a walking tour of Prague Castle. This turned out to be a very big enjoyable day exploring beautiful Prague and learning it’s history.

Highlights: The confronting truth at Auschwitz and Birkenau Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camps, exploring more of Krakow
When booking this trip, I did it knowing I would be visiting Auschwitz for an educational experience. That day was today and lined up well to expand my knowledge after yesterdays to Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory. Back knowing about a place and events and visiting them is on a different emotional level.
