We didn't take the horse carriage ride up... cuz it's more expensive.. 40zloty/person up and 20zloty/person down. All the same... I felt bad through-out the ride... Swore never to exploit another horse in my lifetime.. Hehs doesn't mean I won't ride horses.. just not the sort that really look like they're overworked.
Last picture bottom right is an ideal scene. hehe Dad and mum taking a kid out. Nice sweet family. =)
We are on a mission to see Morskie Oko - Eye of the Sea - though I really don't see how the name fits... Perhaps Eye of the Mountains would fit better. =P The pretty streams and rapids along the way really brings to mind those pictures on glossy sheets in the Physical Geog Textbook from Secondary school days. The school should organize field trips here. hee
The arduous journey up.
Having these beauties line our path really makes climbing up less tedious. It's like a whiff of fresh air. hehe Then again... the whole place is fresh.
Mid point!
And then we arrive... Morskie Oko!
At the edge of the lake.
Dad after scaring away all the ducks with his mere presence. grin
We decided to go around the lake and see if we can reach the snowy areas.
See how clear the waters are. There are fish in there!
Mini waterfall!
Found another path where we could take to move onto higher grounds.
Onwards!
Grin cool water greets us at the top - (foot of Rysy - the highest Polish peak; but that would take us 3hr50min to conquer... Not today... haha)
Dad reveling in nature.
We decided to soak our feet. Er Bad idea. hahaha the blood rushes to the feet and leaves them numb for ages after we remove them from the water.
Don't wanna go home...
Dad claims the white bits are ice. I don't know... It was pretty hot save for the chilly water.
Goodbye Tatra Mountains!
