Taking The Train To The Salt Mines

It suddenly struck me, as I was writing this post, that what is an interesting and unusual experience for one person is a regular every day one for another.

Taking a local train from Krakow to the Wieliczka Salt Mines was a bit of an adventure for us. Using local public transport in a foreign country usually is, especially when you add a different language to the experience. But for someone living locally it might be something they do every day and not very interesting at all.

Anyway, for us, it was great fun. It took a while to work out which train and which platform we needed to be on but we got there in the end. And this was our train.

On our return, getting out of the station also proved to be a bit of a challenge!
Eventually we discovered we had to walk around the building rather than through it! 😁
