This trip involved boys from Shell and V Forms. Our first destination was Berlin. We stayed here for two nights before travelling to Krakow. While in Berlin, we managed to take in many sights including the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, the Checkpoint Charlie Museum and the Olympic Stadium. Perhaps more important from a history point of view we also visited the Holocaust Memorial, and the Wansee Museum, located in the building where details of the 'final solution' of the Holocaust was calculated.
 On Easter Sunday we arrived in Krakow, feeling slightly rough after our ten hour overnight bus journey. We were soon taken on a tour of the city, consisting mainly of the castle and numerous cathedrals and churches. After some Eastern European food we rested for the day. A large portion of Monday was taken up by the depressing tour of Auschwitz. However humbled we may have been, we were soon uplifted by our tour of Poland's world famous salt mine later on that day.
 Tuesday was spent almost entirely on our bus which took us to our final destination of Prague. The final day was spent in Prague's old town and castle. |
