We all woke up rather tired at around 6-6.30, because we had to be at school at 7.30 to go on a trip to Auschwitz. On our way we stopped at a gas station for a bathroom break and to buy some supplies. Unfortunately nobody missed Áróra when Hjördís asked if everyone was back there so we drove off without her but fortunately we realized that she was not there and went back to get her.
When we got to Auschwitz the tour started by getting headphones and some other equipment to listen to the guide. Then she showed us around the aerea and told us the story about the consentration camp. We saw the horrible facilities the prisoners had to live in, the crematorium and gas chamber, old posessions of the prisoners, like their shoes, hair, suitcases and more.
After the first part of the tour some people went to get something to eat, some went to buy some souvenirs and some others went to the bathroom but could not get to it without paying 1 zloty. The Icelanders thought that this was very strange because going to the bathroom in Iceland is free of charge most of the time. Like Hjördís who got a free toilet trip from Hlif, hahahahahahaha. Then we took the bus over to the other side, to another concentration camp called Birkenau. That tour took about half an hour and afterwards we went to a restaurant and got really good food, soup and fish.
Then it was time to head back home, everyone was very tired and slept on the bus. During the night we went to a karaoke place and had a lot of fun singing.
