Sunday Salt Mine



Last Sunday was a big day! 
We began with a trip to the Salt Mine. We needed to check the validity of this so called salt mine. What better way than licking the walls? 




Yes, they are salty!!























It is a HUGE mine. The tours were kind of expensive so we opted for the cheaper option, going on a tour in Polish. Ilona was nice enough to translate, but the tour was 2 hours long and about an hour longer than my attention span!


There were all kinds of statues in the mine. Everything was carved out of salt! 
We took pictures of every one! 





There is even a church in the mine. I guess people get married there. There was also a ballroom and a restaurant in the mine! 

Notice the chandelier. It is made of salt! 
All in all it was pretty cool and a great way to spend a cold and rainy morning!
