I went to bed last night at 10pm. I fell asleep almost immediately. I had intended to get up early today (7am) so I could slink off around 8ish and go on an excursion before my trip to Warsaw. Despite having over 8 hours of sleep, I slept through my 06:45am alarm, and what must have been about 10 snooze resets, before finally waking up at about 09:20.
The moral of this story? Don't know if there is one. but, I'm happy to learn that it's not just on workdays that I can't wake up in the morning.
So, my plans for this morning and the early afternoon are, actually buggered. I had planned to visit a place that has, since I first encountered it in history lessons at school, held a kind of fearful intrigue for me. I am of course referring to Auschwitz, the site of the most horrifying death camp during the Nazi occupation and the second world war. It takes about an hour and a half to reach it by bus (probably more today due to the thick carpet of snow that's appeared overnight) and then the same to come back. There's a 3km walk between Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II (Birkenau) and then of course the walk back. So, considering I now have only about 5 - 6 hours before I'd need to be on a train to Warsaw, I'm going to have to take a pass. Oh yeah, and it closes during the winter months at 3pm. I would actually consider staying another night if it wasn't for that as I could always change my ticket to Riga.
Never mind.
Now I'm going to finish my tea, re-pack my rucksack, and then head to Warsaw...
