Wieliczka Salt MinesNow here is something you don't get to do every day: lick the walls of a World Heritage Site that was on the original UNESCO list of places of either cultural or physical significance to Humanity.

Living in the L.A. area makes you forget what a "real" city is like. The kind of place where lots of shops, restaurants, galleries are all packed together within walking or at least easy public transport range.

Well actually we have been back now for a few days now - just couldn't find the time to make the post. The flight was long and uncomfortable - I am never flying Swissair again. First of all they seperated our seating even though we bought the tickets together and we were obviously a family. When we wanted the situation fixed they kept pushing it down the authority ladder.
