These past few weeks have seen my work life following the same general routine and schedule, so not a huge amount to report there. In terms of my social life, my friends and I have come to the realisation that it's the beginning of the end of our time in Poland and our time together so we've been trying to spend as much time together as possible. Not last weekend but the weekend before, I whiled away a lovely afternoon in the sunshine at Łazienki Park which is just as beautiful as everyone keeps telling me.

I then went to a medieval knights tournament with my host family, which was certainly something out of the ordinary for me!

Rarely do I get the opportunity to watch grown men dress up in costumes and whack each other with swords while onlookers, including to severed heads on spikes, ohh and ahh at every blow. This past weekend I traveled back to Kraków to see one of my friends for the last time. While we were there we passed much of our time making the most of being together but I did spend Friday at the Wieliczka Salt Mine. 

It's not like anything I have ever seen before or really like anything I'd ever even heard of. Again, many students and teachers at the school have recommended it and I'm glad to say that their suggestion did not disappoint.
