Wieliczka Salt Mine (UNESCO Heritage Site)
The mine has been built in the 13th century and it produced salt continuously until 2007 - it is also one of the oldest salt mines in the world.

They only saw it once back in high school. It was incredible! You start the tour walking down the stairs, in the end you end up about 135m below the surface. You w

Skellig Michael - UNESCO World Heritage Site

Kerry. I have never heard about it before and only planned to see it because it was mentioned in my guide. To get there you have to book a boat ride - in advance! And it won’t go in very windy or rainy weather as the boats are actually very small. We even got special suits to put over
