On our final day in Krakow, we decided to take a trip to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Still a working mine to this day, it is also a museum that takes visitors 135 meters below the surface (via 800+ stairs!) to see numerous salt carvings. It was pretty cool! Way more interesting that castles or churches! Though to be fair, there is a chapel 135 meters down that even includes a statue of Pope John Paul II. The carvings were amazing, and it's even more amazing to think that they were all done by the miners!
Once back in Krakow, it was raining (of course) so we managed to find an Irish pub that was showing the Tour de France. It was a great way to get out of the rain! Overall, Krakow was a nice town, but if it had been sunny I'd have liked it a lot better.
