Big Brother Is Watching You...



There's no escape from Big Brother. Not even in a Polish salt mine.

On the left here we have Princess Kinga, the Hungarian wife of King Boleslaw V the Bashful. According to legend, before their marriage, she threw her ring into a salt mine in her native land. When, upon her instructions, prospective mining began in Wieliczka, the first salt rock extracted miraculously contained said ring.

Her proclivities as regards wine bottles are, unfortunately, not recorded...
