    Well just done a whistle stop tour of Eastern Europe, it was a great trip.

    They use some odd pads for the cobbles. This was in Prague in the Czech Republic.

    The town clock.

    The terminus of the journey was Auschwitz near Krakow in Poland. Very sobering, it was the site of the killing of 1.5 million people. mostly Jews.

    Some great views of Krakow.

    Yep they were on all four feet, didnt see them close, but may well of been leather. I think the owner would of been alarmed at me picking up the feet and there was a serious language barrier.
