Carpathian Mountains

Left the city and travelled up into the mountains today. It`s a pity to leave Krakow as it is such a charming little city with so much history and a very relaxed vibe. Before I left I visited the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a massive complex of caves and tunnels. It`s 150 meters down, and you have to walk down 52 stories. It`s worth it when you get there as there are some amazing sculptures carved out of the salt. Went for a short walk in the hills above Zakopane today. Some glorious views and loads of families on a day out. I must look polish as I keep getting asked for directions. Doubly embarrassing as when I stumble "no Polski" and shake my head they always say "Oh So Sorry to trouble you" in perfect English.
