I have lots of catching up to do altough it's been only few days since my last posting. Many things have happened during that time.

Now we are in the train departed from Vienna, heading to Zagreb (Kroatia) It will take about six and half hours to get there, so we have a long way to go. We are now one hour away from Vienna and the landscape, with one word, is AMAZING. It will take hours to write all the things that need to be said cause the magnificent scene is catching my eyes all the time. No words to explain how beautiful it is. Even if i would add the photo here (and i surely will) you cannot have the picture i have at the moment. This is the moment i have waited from this trip. :) <3

I will post this text as soon as i get a wifi connection. It may be this evening in Zagreb, or tomorrow in Split where we are heading in the morning. So we are only staying in Zagreb for the night. Anyways. To make you understand the timing: our train is  now stopping to Mürzzuschlag trainstation, it's 8th of June and the clock is 17:33 local time.

About two days ago we left Krakow behind and got a bus from local busstation to Oświęcim. Wich by the way was cheap and easy way to get there. The busstation was next to Krakow Glowny and there were many signs in the mall above. The cost was only 12 zlotys (3 euros) per person. We choose the bus cause there were many more options of time than when you travel with a train. I'm not sure, but i think there were at least two busses in hour. (One boy that didn't fit in our bus managed to the same guided tour with us in Auschwitz.)

Auschwitz was quite rough place to go but it was worth seeing. There's no many words to descripe the feeligs i got. But well.. i almost cried many times. Like i said before, i've read lots of things about the place, the cruel actions made there and the numbers of people who died there. But in many situations numbers can't be understood without visual touch. When you see hundreds of crushed buildings, seven tons of humanhair and you've been told how many persons lived in one building at the time and the fact that big part of the people were pushed straight to the gascells, you can have a bitter clear picture of the brutality.

After Auschwitz we thought there were enough suspense for the day, but it turned out  that we thought wrong. We walked to the trainstation of Oświęcim to make the reservation for the train to Bratislava like we had planned by basing on the information of the PKP's(Polish railways company)website. But the officer didn't agree with us. Like in many times before during our stay in Poland, the officer wasn't able to speak English, but she was quite polite. She quided us to get a train to Czechowice and from there to some other place wich name i can't remember and from there we probably could get a train to Bratislava. That kind of service wouldn't be accepted in Finland. I mean, if you're not sure about something, you should confirm it somehow. But well.. When in Rome. :D

We took the train to Czechowice and there we tried to confirm our trail to Bratislava. But again the officer told us wrong. One conductor, that was ending his day, was also really kind and tried to suggest some other way for us to get there. So we thought we should change our plan and head to place, wich name (again) i can't remember, like they told us. But fortunately we got to the one restaurant towards the station named Pizzeria Pigallo. Lovely young Polish girl Magdalena, who surprisely spoke very good English, helped us to order some pizzas from Polish menu. It was srange to realize how people in the countryside was much more polite than the citisens. It shouldn't be generalised, but one sample that comes to me is that one young officer in busstation of Krakow who got nuts when i didn't guite understand what she was telling me.  In my point of view it isn't really allowed to lose your nerves when you're working in service industry.

I'm losing my point.. So Magdalena offered her helpping hand and we told her how we tried to get to Bratislava but no one really speaks English. Without any provocating Magda called to the phoneservice of PKP and after her call she came to tell us the information about the train that goes from Czechowice to Bratislava. I was really confused cause everybody told different things and we were already talked with my mom about chancing our trail. But i trusted her cause i'd red the same from the internet. We spended our time in the restaurant till it got closed at ten. Our train left 00.34 so we had to wait outside. Ofcource the trainstation was open, but there were no chairs in there so we waited on platform.

Czechowize trainstation at night.

 And we were so stressed up cause we were tired, there were dark and the station was ghostly.Trainpipes screamed all the time cause this station was extremely active and i get scared everytime. I was claiming the Aucshwitz that i was so sensitive and my mom was afraid that the train would be full and not taking us in, cause we had no reservation. We desited to pass Bratislava and head straight to the Vienna cause there were the nighttrain to there too. Well the train came and after the night we were in Vienna at seven something.

I will continue about Vienna later. :)
