So the school kids have sleep-overs in the salt mines??? I checked this sleep over, and if you mean a pajama party, then no, there are no parties, kids just spend a night or two there, that`s all.  Spending the night in the mines is a sleep-over. Sleep-overs are not necessarily parties, though they could be. I guess I'm just surprised that there are accommodations for the kids to sleep there! Here in the U.S. kids can have sleep-overs at museums, etc. In Boston they can spend the night sleeping on the historic ship, the U.S.S. Constitution ("Old Ironsides"), so I guess doing that is not that different from sleeping in the mines. |

If I were a parent chaperoning a sleep-over in the mines, I might become claustrophobic and want to get out! |

What about sleep- overs in a submarine .... I wouldn't be claustrophobic on the ship because it has openings like port holes, etc., and hatches that open above you...but I might get seasick!! Submarine sleep-overs would definitely produce claustrophobia in me! |

Did you google "Old Ironsides" and see what it looks like? I wouldn't call it a water-tight modern ship. I took a tour of it 2 years ago, and I believe I would feel confident I could "escape" if need be! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Constitution |

Impressive. That`s how it looked like in 16 century  www.zamkipolskie.com/ogro/ogro.htmlTiredness was mostly the result of intensive walking around the castle and the whole area. |
