Since we were so close to the border we decided to have a day trip into Poland. The two times I have been to Poland I have gone to Wroclaw, so we decided to check out a smaller and closer city, Klodzko. We randomly found a Uranium mine, so we decided to check it out. We were the last ones to arrive for the tour, so the guide didn't inform us about how we could listen to the information in English. Since Polish is a bit similar to Czech, Leos was able to slightly understand what was being said during the tour. It was really crazy to see all the minerals inside the mine. We even got to see a radio active rock. The guide pulled out his meter and when he put it next to the rock, it started to go off. Also we got to see some of the items that were made with uranium. They all glowed under the black light. Next we decided to go to walk around the city center. Then we went for lunch and the lunch was amazing!!! The food was delicious and the prices were not bad at all. After lunch we went to Mini Euroland to see popular European sights made as miniatures to fit in a park. Then we decided to go back to our accommodation in the Czech Republic and go for a walk to the viewing tower that was nearby. We had to walk in a bit of snow to get there. Walking up and down the tower was bit scary due to the high wind speeds. Then we found a really nice shelter and hung out there for a bit. We were worried about day light, so we had to head back to the accommodation. It was a great day. (photos are a bit out of order)
