Today we toured the Wieliczka Salt Mine. It was a good day to be underground as it was raining.
The medieval salt mines are a Unesco World Heritage Site. To get to the first level of the mine we needed to go down 360 vertigo inducing stairs. The mine, at its lowest level, is 329 meters below the surface. The fascinating thing about this mine is the carvings the miners did out of the salt. The mine and the tour are both amazingly well done. 
Everything from the tiles on the floor to the chandeliers are carved from salt. A quick elevator ride to the surface and back to Kraków.
We were a bit hungry but because we had plans for the evening meal we headed to the Market Square where to our surprise a large “Happy Birthday Norway” celebration was in progress.
After a restful afternoon we set off for our Michelin starred restaurant – Kogel Mogel. In spite of the funny name this is one of the best authentic Polish restaurants in Kraków. We enjoyed an amazing meal that was, in spite of the Michelin Star rating and great ambience, amazingly affordable. The contrast between grilled sausage on an outdoor picnic table in the rain and a fancy restaurant is something I enjoyed. Back to our comfortable library lounge for a night cap and then bed.
