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.

Oh my brothers and sister and friends.

Today we the few male partners in this journey found ourselves watching the final slideshow presentation where the national pride flew high, oh my brothers and sisters.  After that we went to the classroom to finish some business, if you catch my drift aha. Afterwards we were herded like cattle downstairs and into the presentation room again, but instead of being agonized over the slideshow presentations we got to enjoy a theatrical piece where one of our lovely polish partners was among the leading roles.

At lunch we enjoyed a lovely meal of some unidentified meat that we shall not speak of again, oh my brothers and sisters. But odds are on a certain kind of poultry.  Then to our much delight we enjoyed a class with some new polish students. Acting, singing and fun was the main theme of the class.

After a long day in school we gathered at a restaurant, Wiluszówka,  where we got some delightful  dinner surrounded by great looking girls on all sides, oh my brothers and sisters. To put an end to our night we played some pool, much to our enjoyment. After that we all went home, oh my brothers and sisters, and only friends.
