Krakow: Fuji Instax Mini's

Can you believe I still have Krakow photos to share with you?

Honestly, I'm a little sad that its been well over a month since we were there... I miss it. Its nice to have photos I love from there though...

These are a mixture of photos from the trip, including a random fort we found in the middle of no where outside of the city, my favourite - the Wavel dragon - and the lovely castle.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

p.s. don't forget about my shop and sale this weekend!!

Norfolk love on etsy...

Even though I no longer live in Norfolk, all of my favourite childhood (and many adult) memories are there and when I saw Sarah Culleton's Handmade Bags and Accessories etsy shop I absolutely swooned ... especially as it's postcards as well... seaside postcards are my favourite!!

Wish You Were Here Coin Purse... Great Yarmouth

Wish You Were Here Coin Purse... Hunstanton

Sarah's shop also includes some adorable brooches and hair accessories, but I think it's the Norfolk postcard coin purses that I'm adding to my christmas list!

p.s. I can't wait to go home to Norfolk next month now, hurray!

p.p.s. I finally put together an 'About me' page on here, if anyone is interested...

Krakow: Holga photos!

Krakow: The Salt Mine II

Compared to the yashica, my poor fuji instax mini had mixed results in the Salt Mines.

Some turned out quite well...

Some not so well...

and some didn't make it...

I definitely had fun experimenting with it though - even if its possibly the noisiest camera to carry in echoing caverns!

I've given my fuji to my parents for their trip to New York next month

{I'm so excited for them}

I can't wait to see their photos.

(they read this, they have to take some now, haha)

(sorry Dad...)

Have a great weekend!

Hopefully the weather is a bit nicer where you are compared to foggy, miserable Leeds.

Krakow: The Salt Mine

Just outside Krakow (a slightly terrifying bus journey away) is one of Poland's most popular tourist attractions - The Wieliczka Salt Mine. The mine was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and if you ever go to Krakow, I highly recommend that you visit it- although you do start the tour by going down around 300 steps...

The tour consists of over 30 chambers, going as deep as 135m underground including chapels, chandeliers and statues completely carved of rock salt. There was also a restaurant at the end (where you could get a phone signal?!) and if you wanted to look around - a museum about the mine. We went to the museum and again, if you have the time and the energy, I highly recommend that as well - it was fascinating to see and learn more about the history of the mine and how the workers used to live down there.

I'm going to gush a little here but boy did our Yashica Autofocus do well in the mines! My phone camera seriously stuggled with the lack of light and I was a little worried that the film camera would struggle too however, its photos turned out much better than my digital ones

(though still not perfect...)

I'm just glad that we had something to share with everyone from it, as it was amazing!!

p.s. Sorry for the blog silence yesterday, I spent the day in bed with a migraine :(

p.p.s. Migraines suck!
