Arrived In Zakopane
- Comments: No Comments Yet
We’re in Zakopane, and it seems to be the equivalent of Banff in Canada – the mountain tourist mekka. It’s beautiful, but full of local tourists. There seems to be a few odd local food specialties – smoked sheep cheese (in a variety of decorative shapes and sizes – ie: smoked Pope), Belgian waffles with fruit, glazed dough nuts (I’m afraid of what they’re stuffed with), and they have a fantastic goulash. They also have a town mascot – a special breed of dog that looks like a Great Pyranese – it’s on all the post cards.
The weather isn’t great – it hasn’t been since we started our trip – it’s cool & raining. Tomorrow we’ll take the funicular to the top of the mountain and hike down. It seems like the great majority of the sights and good hikes are on the Slovak side of the Tatras, so we’ll head over the mountains on Tuesday.
