• Day 67 POLAND Zakopane

    May 24 in Poland ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    We had a much better day today. We were able to find free parking, which is rare in Zakopane, near the trailhead of the hike. There wasn't as many people on the hike. The hike was again uphill and rocky but the trail took us through the forest, to an Alpine meadow and finally to the peak with breathtaking views. Ruby was able to do the ascent very well with rest stops and slowly. On the way down towards the end of the hike, we soaked our feet in the roaring river again. This time it wasn't as cold and Ruby waded out till before the rapids.

    There was a Sacred Heart Catholic Church to visit after the hike that was empty after the crowds left, with only 1 man praying. It was lovely, serene and peaceful.

    Next to the hike, the meal we had was delicious and memorable. The restaurant was a recommendation to us by our niece. Ruby had lamb rump while I had truffle pasta. We finished with a meringue dessert with mascopone cheese, fruits and passionfruit drizzle.

    We had a marvellous day.
