Poland

Last night in Poland! I am in Krakow currently and head to Warsaw on the train tomorrow morning, then catch a flight to Athens via Istanbul. Fingers crossed for smooth connections. I wish that I had more time in Poland. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface in my 4-5 days, which is probably reasonable, and there are so many other layers to go. I focused a lot on World War II and learned a lot (visiting Auschwitz, the Polish Resistance Museum in Warsaw, the ghetto in Krakow, the Oskar Schindler factory). However, there is so much with history from the Soviet Union or even earlier Polish history (the Jagellion dynasty) that I barely got to. And while people here are nice (nicer than Croatia for sure), I feel like they also might need some thawing too. I wish that I could explore more. But next time!
