Fun interactive map of the Palace Gardens --includes locations of all the outbuildings and even the statues--with pretty pictures! And a nice picture of the gondolas--fun if they were part of the task! [attachment deleted by admin]

the salt mines would rock as a task..
Salt mines intro
For centuries, salt was mined near Kraków and brought wealth to the region. Two mines can be visited, of which the one in Wieliczka is the most spectacular. About 20 million years ago, this area was covered by a shallow, salty sea. Unfortunately for Kraków the beaches have gone, but left behind were some huge salt deposits that ended up 10-200m underground due to tectonic movements. Ever since the Stone Age, locals have been boiling brine to extract salt from the easily reachable layers; from the 13th century people started to dig for rock-salt. The mines gradually developed from small shafts used by local farmers and operating only in wintertime, to complexes of tunnels with horse-powered winches until finally into the modern mines that were eventually closed in the 1990s. Both the Bochnia and Wieliczka mines can be visited on tours that last about two hours, with witty guides who give insight into ancient and modern salt mining techniques and the artworks, chapels, lakes, sports facilities and sanatoriums you now find underground. The temperature in both mines is a constant 15°C. If you want to impress the guide, memorise the wonderful words Szczęscie Boże (stench-tsh boh-zhe); this essential, unpronouncable bit of salt miners’ lingo means as much as ‘may God protect you

Good thought! Can't exactly count on a two-hundred year old clock to be actually working--but if it is--maybe 3:40??

Reviews of the Salt Mines--I am so going to hell.... My family and I went to Wieliczka about six years ago. It was a great experience and was even funny when one man kissed the "sacred" dwarf. I believe that the entire world should come and see Wieliczka sometime in their lifetime. |

You can never have enough pictures of the Lazienki Palace. At least we know there really are "double columns". Hey dude, would it kill you to take a picture of the fireplace at the other end of the room ? Hey, I'm talkin' to you....[attachment deleted by admin]

As long as you mean Kuala Lumpur and not Singapore for the Malaysian pitstop and except for the uncertainty about episode 7 (I expect somewhere near Nairobi, Kenya), you are right on the money with the information you can find on page 1 of the SPOILER thread an several other threads here at RFF. |

I believe that the entire world should come and see Wieliczka sometime in their lifetime. I certainly can second that review. The Wieliczka Salt Mines must be one of the seven "new" wonders of the world. Absolutely fantastic. Beautiful sculptures and carvings and caverns some 500 feet deep with pools of green water in the bottom. You descend down into these caverns on rickity wooden stairs clingling to the sides of sheer walls. |

From the look of next weeks preview it seems that Danielle is getting a little tired of Eric taking charge and bucks him a bit...could be a little bantering! |
