The phonetic spelling was close. I do remember the village was very pretty and the salt mines were impressive with the cathedrals and all. I still have some salt crystals from back then.

I think it's always been called Wroclaw EJ and Wieliczka is where the salt mines are.[/QUOTE]
I used to have a neighbour who came from Wroclaw before she had to flee in 1939... Back then the town was german and called Breslau. Mette |

My home city used to be called Bromberg and is now Bydgoszcz , but I didnt think that EJ would have visited Poland before 1945 .

1969 was my first and last visit to Poland. That was the same trip for my first visit to the UK also.
