A rainy full day, and a Daytrip to Auschwitz!

Hello Everybody! Sorry for not writing yesterday, the internet were laggy as shit!
Yesterday started later than usual, as I did get some decent sleep. I chilled in bed for a bit and looking on where to go!
I decided to head to the old town, which had a lot to see.
I then walked the outer rim of old town, the weather wasn't great, as it was raining, but not pouring down! I then went to the river, and walked alongside it seeing some other sites along the way. I went to the Basilica of St Michael the Archangel (long name for a church!) and then decided to head back to the apartment! I chilled for the rest of the day!
Which leads me to today! I have been to Auschwitz today!
The day started veyr early at around 5.30am, as I wanted to get the 7.45 train, and didn't want to stress to the train! I walked to the train station, and thought I bought the train ticket, and got on the train. The conductor looked at the ticket, and said it was the wrong ticket, so I had to buy a new one, it wasn't expensive or anything!
I got off the train and had to take a bus to Oswiecim, and when I arrived, I started walking to Auschwitz, as it was a couple of kilometers from the train station. I was at the wrong entrance, so I had to walk around! I got to the entrance, and asked if I could go in, as I read that you could go in for free. But it was only free after 4pm (I got there by 10.30am). So I paid for a guided tour, and it wasn't that expensive either.
We started off in Auschwitz, walking around and exploring the buildings inside the confined area. The guide told the history of it all, and how it was like being there during the Second World War, which was surreal!
Then we took the bus the Auschwitz Birkenau, which has the infamous entrance for the train, and we walked around hearing about the history, hearing of what it was like being there. It was also very surreal!
After that, the tour was over, and it was time to head back! I took the bus back the Uaschwitz and then walked back to the train station. I bought a train ticket this time, but it was hard to figure out who the train where leaving. I thought That O could the take the same ride back, as taking a bus, and then switch for the train, but the train arrived in Oswiecim to Krakow, so I took that one, and on the train I slept a bit.
Then I got back to Krakow, I went to grab something to eat, and bought some supplies, and has then chilled ever since! Might be an Early night, since I´m really tired!
We will see what I will do Tomorrow, as I might just chill for the day, as I might be burnt out from all of the travel so far, I will probably need a day just chilling!
