Thursday, Jan 13th




On Thursday we headed to Katowice about in 9 am. First we viseted old industrial part of town which was about 100-years old. It was very beautiful – the building were made of brown bricks and the window edges were vivid red. We had some time to walk there and take some pictures and then we went to the administrative center of Katowice in Silesia Voivodship. We first had one small meal and we got some little presents. Then we listened two man who talked about the histort of the building and about Silesia and Katowice in general. After taht we went to silver mining museum where we introduced how they used to mine silver, with what technic. We had a trip in the underground mining caves and we had a chance to sail with a boat. The waterway was very narrow so it was kind of creepy. The boat also swayed a lot. After the those trips we went to have a dinner. We actually had two dinners because our sleighride with horses was canceled due to the lack of snow. So we had some simple meal and then we went to eat some barbeque. The day was very exciting and educating. We had a lot of fun.
