Eilat – tourist paradise

Entering Eilat we felt as if we were driving in Las Vegas. All the hotels seemed to be built in a similar style. In the city we could find many stalls, where we bought beautiful souvenirs, cosmetics from the Dead Sea and local delicacies. Walking on the promenade, we were getting past a lot of international shops, local bazaars and great restaurants. Going on, behind the promenade we saw a campsite and then we reached the border with Jordan. Unfortunately the gateway was closed, so we have just seen a big fence.

Afterwards we went to the beach. Everyone was shocked by the fantastic view. It looked like the Bahamas or another luxurious place for holidays. The beach made a big impression on us, because there were many palm trees and the water was very clean.
But it wasn’t a perfect place, because the sand was like gravel, so we didn’t like it.
Water was warm enough to swim, so almost everyone was bathing and having fun.
We spent most of the day on the beach and did the shopping in the meantime.
 
Getting a tan all day long would be boring, so we went to a pleasure cruise. During the passage we saw lovely dolphins. It was a great experience. Then we sailed to the center of the Gulf of Aqaba to swim. By the way we had a beautiful views of Eilat and surrounding areas. The ship was equipped with a large slide and rafts. Everyone could get life vests, so it was safe. People were admiring underwater sights and even jumped into the water from upper deck. On the cruise liner loud music was played, so a lot of people were dancing. It was so hot, but we could chill with cold drinks. It was a great adventure and we are grateful to have taken part in.

Sad history of the Castle Ksionzh

Ksionzh Castle is the largest castle in the Silesia region. The castle is just incredible. Also nature around castle are amazing – so many trees! And this landscape, just wow! But in the same time this beautiful place has very tragic history associated with World War II. During World War II, the castle was seized by the Nazi regime. Supervised by SS and Organisation Todt personnel, the building complex at Książ became part of the vast underground Project Riese complex, presumably a projected Führer Headquarter and a future abode for Adolf Hitler. Construction works were carried out under inhumane conditions by forced labourers and inmates of Gross-Rosen concentration camp, until the castle was occupied by Red Army forces in the wake of the Vistula–Oder Offensive in 1945. During the construction of the underground for the Nazis, hundreds of prisoners were killed here. Now parts of the tunnel complex beneath the castle are currently used by the Polish Academy of Sciences for grav...
