2010-10-23: Essen

I took a tour of the mine in Essen. Twelve of the fourteen people in the tour group were native German speakers apparently taking the tour in English for practice. The tour discussed the history of the mine and how coal was processed, in the above-ground buildings. There was no discussion of the actual mining and no visit underground. The tour of the salt mine in Wieliczka, near Kraków, was better.
