We spent another few days in Krakow after being joined by Pete (Alister's friend from university). We tried to make the best of the rainy days by touring the salt mines. The salt mines were a bit overpriced for what you got. But it was great to see the salt statues and even the cathedrals that the miners had carved out of the salt. The salt - a deep black in this mine - looked like polished granite on the statues - and especially in the cathedrals.
Pete had come to visit - not only for a vacation but also to help us work on our mud hut and he had even taken a special class on wattle and daub building during his short sojourn in the UK - we joked with him that now he would have to learn how to build with salt so that we could have "granite" floors in our mud hut.
We left Krakow by bus and headed towards Lvov Ukraine.
