Our Hansel & Gretel Experience

Guess what?! After we got back on our bikes after our amazing ski jump, and pedalled round the corner, we came across a smaller ski jump specifically for children and novices. If only we'd known! Mind you, we're glad we did the real thing proving we are 'real' bears.

After that adrenalin rush we needed a bit of sedate activity. Our leader Jackub had just the right thing for us. He took us to see some of the oldest buildings in Zakopane and they are quite amazing as they are all made from wood and are very beautiful. How's this for an example (don't spend too much time looking for us, we took the photo so are not in it).


Hopefully you can see us in our next picture which shows us investigating a lovely old wooden well. We thought it might be nice to have a shower to cool off after our ski jump exertions, but unfortunately either the well was dry, or we hadn't got quite the right technique (or strength!)


From here we went on to a traditional Highland restaurant (Polish, not Scottish). This was none too soon as we were ravenous after all our exertions. We were very intrigued by the furry trousers the Highlanders wear as part of their traditional costume. We wondered if they were trying to be bear like.

Keep reading for more exciting adventures.

Lots of love, George & Yorkie xxx
