Started our day early to first lock our luggages in the bus station and set off for Auschwitz Concentration Camp tour. We took a coach-like bus out to Auschwitz. Oh, here's the thing, in Europe, people pretty much squeeze up the bus. I mean, you see that in Singapore and we will all go like... kiasu people. I will expect Europe to be very much different but sadly, no. Even for overnight buses, people don't care about the seat number and would sometimes take up to 2 seats. It's really very irritating, especially when the bus is full. SO better be a Kiasu Singaporean and try to squeeze in front to secure a seat. Anyway, the first bus out to Auschwitz were full so we had to stood like 1.5 hours to 2 hours to get there. At least, we managed to join one of the first English tours! The place is packed with tourists. The whole tour, if you go to both camps, takes a lot more time than the Salt Mine tour. So, be prepared to spend more than half a day there. It was late summer for us and it was scorching hot. Do put sunblock and bring along your shades and cap!
