On our second to last day we went to the Wieliczka Salt Mine on the outskirts of Krakow. To say that the Salt Mines are nothing less than spectacular is an understatement. They are amazing, fantastic, awesome etc.! Plus if you like industrial history then this is the place for you. Read on reader (Jane Eyre reference) to find out more about what I did on my last few days in Krakow!
Rachel With An E Travels – Krakow, Poland.
A few months before Christmas 2016 my boyfriend and I decided to go somewhere different for impending thirtieth birthday. I say impending with a light heart as thirty isn’t all that different from twenty-nine at all. We looked at Copenhagen. Too dear. We looked at western Europe. Already been there. Then we looked at eastern Europe. And bam! we found the place we wanted to go to: Krakow, Poland.
Rachel’s Roadtrip # 2 – Carlingford!
I’ve been taking regular road trips to villages and towns near where I live whilst I look for further full-time work. I hate nothing more than being stuck in doors for days on end so I try to get out a bit further than my local town and explore the beautiful Irish countryside. So last week I decided to head over the border to Carlingford in the Republic of Ireland for a day of ice cream and walks.
Art Attack : Why I love Art & Museums!
One of my favorite TV shows as a kid and teenager growing was ‘Art Attack’ hosted by Neil Buchanan. For those of a certain age Art Attack was the art show to go to for inspiration in the 1990s and early 2000’s. It’s sufficient enough to say that Art Attack (and being brought to museums at an early age) is the reason I studied art at University and work for museums. This blog post talks about my love of art and museums and how they are essentially one of my ‘happy places.’
