Fredagens “styremøte” tok opp hva i all verden vi skal gjøre rundt 10. juni 2010. Hotellene i selve Stockholm er sikkert breddfulle - men ett forslag som bør utredes er Hasseludden.
Vis Krakow 2009 i et større kart
Her er Hildes restaurantforslag – som ble vedtatt ved aklamasjon på fredag, den 15. mai.
Halloen damer!
I et ledig øyeblikk har jeg surfet litt på restauranter i Krakow. Godt selskap er jeg jo sikret J så da må jeg jo forsikre meg om god mat og god drikke også!
Foreslår at vi går en dag på denne restauranten
Fant også det som angivelig skal være en bra argentisk restaurant
For polsk mat foreslås denne – egen omtale;
We invite you to visit our restaurant, situated within just 200 meters of the Wawel Royal Castle. Our typical family restaurant has existed in the market since 1997 and during this time has won a group of loyal Customers, among whom there are well-known and popular artists. The typical interior decorations of the ancient middle class, the antique furniture, two fire-places and the stirring music make all our Clients feel comfortably and perfectly content. There are three rooms, 60 places altogether, at your disposal. We specialize in the Polish cuisine with a touch of the European cuisine. We prepare all of the dishes ourselves (including the mayonnaise and the sauces) without using any half-finished products.
Meal for two without wine – about 25 euro
Address: ul. Sw. Gertrudy 21.

Selv om det er et “must”, er vel turen til Auschwitz ikke akkurat noe vi ser frem til. Det er mye god informasjon fra museets hjemmeside, som jeg synes det er verdt å se på. Den sier bl.a. noe om guider, så kanskje vi bør revurdere. (Det anbefales å reservere guide 2 uker før besøket, dette kan gjøres på internett.)
Oświęcim (osh-fyen-cheem) is a quiet, medium-sized industrial town on the border between Silesia and Małopolska, about 30km southeast of Katowice and about 40km west of Kraków. The Polish name may be unfamiliar to most foreigners, but the German one is not. This is Auschwitz, the scene of the largest attempt at genocide in human history and the world’s largest cemetery.
The Auschwitz extermination camp was established in April 1940 by the Germans in the prewar Polish army barracks on the outskirts of Oświęcim. Auschwitz was originally intended for Polish political prisoners, but the camp was ‘repurposed’ as a dedicated centre for the wholesale extermination of the Jews of Europe. For this purpose, the much larger camp at Birkenau (Brzezinka), also referred to as Auschwitz II, was built 2km west of the original site in 1941 and 1942, followed by another one in Monowitz (Monowice), several kilometres to the west.
It is now estimated that in total this death factory eliminated some 1.6 million people of 27 nationalities, including 1.1 million Jews, 150, 000 Poles and 23, 000 Roma.
The name Auschwitz often describes the whole Auschwitz-Birkenau complex. In 2007, its Unesco world heritage listing was changed from ‘Auschwitz Concentration Camp’ to ‘Auschwitz-Birkenau: German Nazi Concentration & Extermination Camp (1940–45) ’. Both Auschwitz and Birkenau are open to the public as the State Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau (Państwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau; 033 843 2022; www.auschwitz.org.pl; ul Więźniów Oświęcimia 20; donation requested; 8am-7pm Jun-Aug, 8am-6pm May & Sep, 8am-5pm Apr & Oct, 8am-4pm Mar & Nov, 8am-3pm Dec-Feb). The museum’s visitors centre is at the entrance to the Auschwitz site. Lonely Planet, 2009
Dette er hva Lonely Planet sier om Krakow. Tror vel at det skal mer til for å gjøre oss 7 målløse, men vi kan jo gjøre en test i begynnelsen av juni?
