second day quite uneventful..hee just went to Wie-something-ka..haha the Salt Mines near Krakow..it was HUGE..well we had no warning and didn't realise how far we've been walking until we got back to the minibus like 4 hours later and felt our feet hurting like crazy..hee kinda skipped the 2 hours of sight-seeing of Krakow and settled for pesto and hot choc for tea..;pone of the halls within the mine.. check out the salt crystals growing around the pipe leading to the salt well..
here the final few curious souls..or rather tourists who really wanna make their money worthwhile..thus survived through the additional 1 hours of walking on out already aching legs.. thank god our guide was the funny-and-composed sort..which made his jokes doubly funny..
after tea was the nice long journey up to Zakopane..the winter ski town of Poland..and guess what..we're going in regular street wear!! hahaz felt so silly for that..and doubly silly the next day when it turned out to be a fantastic day for skiing..only -1 on the slope, bright and sunny, and not a fog in sight!! *froze my toes off walking up thou..silly me wore thin walking/shopping shoes*
Zakopane was great..pity we wer always hungry at the wrong moment so settled for all the wrong food..read: pizza! hahaz how polish..;p but the place more than made up for anything..thanks to Leszek's dad..hee we put up at his guesthouse..just 60zlts..not exactly cheap by quite a deal for 2 ppl a room ensuite..;p
