Poland: Zakopane

So after a good victory by the Bokke, it was time to leave Krakow (with only a mild kopseer🤕) and head further south in Poland to their ski resort town called Zakopane. So yep, skiing in Winter, and HIKING in Summer.😁 Now we were warned that this town is the holiday centre of Polish tourism and that it can be quite busy, but we weren't prepared for just how busy it was to be! The town was heaving! Absolutely packed and on a Monday! We had been recommended to go on a hike to an alpine lake in the Tatra mountains called Morskie oko, but we were advised to leave at 4:30am (!😳) in the morning to avoid the crowds on the trail. Emz and myself decided we'd seen some really nice lakes in Scandinavia and it seemed unnecessary to go and elbow our way through hundreds of other tourists to see something similar. So we found our own trail in the mountains which was just as nice to us and had far fewer people. ☺️Leia mais
