Last 4 days

I have travelled through several countries. I have left Zagreb in Croatia and have travelled to Budapest in Hungary. We have seen the shores of Lake Balaton. We stayed on the Pest side of Budapest. The city is broken into three parts. One side is called the Buda because it is on the hill and it is very quiet and where the rich people live. It is also the side of Budapest and has the wall and watch tower that they used to defense themselves against their neighbouring countries. Pest in the flat side of Budapest. The currency in Hungary is Forint which is about 1 Canadian dollar to 166 of their money. We had visited Heroes Square and had a traditional Hungarian dinner. Then we travelled to Slovakia through the Tatra Mountains and then landed in Krakow Poland. Last night we had an amazing dinner and polka party. Even our tour director that is Polish performed for us. Today we has the Cathedral on Wawel Hilll and visited the old Town and Mariacki Church and in the evening we went to the Wieliczka salt mine. It was amazing. Tomorrow we are off to Auschwitz. It should be very interesting.
