Dammit, I’m getting crook. My voice is croaky and I feel like a bag of s**t but……. I’m still going to the mines today! We get there early – it’s only a 15 min drive from the hotel.
We walk down into the mine down 374 steps. It is tight and you wouldn’t want to be claustrophobic. But it is a constant 15 degrees with good ventilation and lighting. It is a pretty slick tourist operation. Our group of 40 odd have an English speaking guide and we are very professionally led through the chambers to the main cathedral chamber. 7000 people came through here yesterday! The salt is grey not white as you might expect but still very impressive. Some of these chambers are from the 1600’s. There are souvenirs shops along the way and a restaurant – you can even have weddings in there if that is your thing! I’ve been wanting to go here for ages since talking with Paula who had been some years ago. Yu do get a ride back to the surface in a cage that is Tight! It fits nine but we were like sardines! A lot of frottage going on I tell you.
