The 12 Days of Zakopane

We have been in Zakopane, Poland for almost 12 days, which is the longest stay on our Euro trip.  First of all, Zakopane is beautiful.  It is a mountain resort town (very touristy), with horse drawn carriages, people dressed up as characters (I even saw Toadwart from Gummi Bears), cute houses and kitschy souvenir markets.

When we finally arrived in Zakopane, we were exhausted from our overnight bus trip.  We arrived around 9am and had a few hours to kill before we could check into our pensjonaty (B&B), so we walked around downtown and went up Gulabowka Hill to get a quick view of the mountains.

It was exciting to finally be here as we had much to see and do, but most of all......sleep.
