Mat men coach Merak set up a tour for us at a centuries old salt mine in Krakow. It was a little long, but I think the kids all enjoyed realizing the historical significance of this site, as well as the underground ballroom, chapel and restaurant there. At parts we were over 100 m below ground and there were quite a few stairs to climb down. Not quite a mountain, but getting close.
After this
we all had about 4 hours free time to do some souvenir shopping in Krakow and see the city. The castle and churches were beautiful, and the old city was gorgeous. Then the fun part began.
We spent about 11 hours on a bus to Frankfurt, Germany. No, not THAT Frankfurt, a smaller version on the Oder river, near the Poland border. Our host Dieter met us and brought us back to a facility almost opposite to the Polish one we had just spent a week at. This was a state of the art university type campus with fridges in each room, two single beds and a cable tv.
We got a couple tough training sessions in with the Germans. The good news is our girls seem to be on par with their counterparts. The bad news is the boys attending the camp are only here for Greco! Uh oh. But our boys are pretty excited about learning an alternative style and did fairly ok at our sparring session.
We have an off day tomorrow with swimming and TBA in the afternoon. Wi fi is virtually non-existent here again and long distance phone cards are nowhere to be seen. I have to sit in the hallway on the opposite side of our res to get any signal. Ah, we Canadians have it so soft!
