SO today started at 4:30am which was a lovely cold start in Bristol (yay) to catch our 6:30am flight to Krakow.
Upon arrival in the capital, -8 temperatures snow and arctic winds were the last thing I was expecting. We arrived at our hotel around 11am, then ventured into the city centre to have a wonder and see what it had to offer. Our hotel is located 5 minutes from the Jewish getto and the city centre. we found a lovely little polish cafe to have a much needed coffee/hot drink. Some of the next photos are of the city centre: 
We found a lovely cafe to warm up in- accompanied by a cheeky breakfast and a huge coffee!!
Once we had finished here, we wondered back (and got lost in the now -10 temperatures) to our hotel and booked a taxi to Schlinder's factory. We then had a 2 hour tour which was very informative and quite emotional-! Here are some of the photos that I took there-
In this photo German soldiers had hung some Jewish prisoners- this was pre final solution. Notice how the German guards are smiling.
This was just one of the photos of all the Jewish people that Oskar Schlindler saved by employing them in his working factory. There were another 3 panes just like this one.
