 * Tuesday:** wake up at around 11. and take a drive in the country side! Anything is possible in the Polish countryside. I have stumbled across hermit sculptors, a wooden car, a roadside barbecue with the best trout I've ever eaten, and houses that look like they are straight out of Grimm's fairy tales. If you're lucky, you may even get invited in for //gòralska herbata// (tea with vodka) and a chat. Try the Tatra mountain region and the mostly wooded, eastern region of Bieszczady.
 * Wednesday:** Wake up whenever and get on the train at 8. Arrive at the docks at 9:45. Head over to Auschwitz-Birkinau Witness the sheer magnitude and desolation of Auschwitz-Birkinau. Walk through the barracks full of photos and artifacts, but the quiet processions of backpackers, school groups, and even survivors from across the globe will give you hope for the peace and unity of our world.
