Slovakia 8 May: Zakopane - Poprad

Good morning Poland!

Dobré ráno Poľsko!

Our hosts at Goodbye Lenin Hostel join us for the first few kilometers...

Naši hostitelia z Goodbye hostelu sa k nám pripojili na pár prvých kilometrov

...then send us on our way, well fed and rested.

... a potom nás poslali na našu cestu...dobre nakŕmených a oddýchnutých

...one of many wooden houses in Zakopane.

...jeden z mnohých drevených domov v Zakopanom

Majestátne Tatry

Natália z Ukrajiny- náš najrýchlejší bežec (maratón 2:48 :-) )

At the border we ran into the students from the Elementary Art and Music School from Bocs, Hungary, enroute to fly to Ireland. We had an spontaneous meeting which finished with singing for one another.

Na hraniciach sme stretli deti zo základnej umeleckej školy v Bocs z Maďarska, ktoré boli na ceste do Írska. Bolo to spontánne stretnutie, na konci ktorého sme si pre seba navzájom zaspievali

Running to the Polish-Slovak border.

Sharing common ideals with the Mayor of Spisska Bela, Stefan Bielak

S primátorom Spišskej Belej, pánom JUDr. Štefanom Bieľakom sme sa podelili o spoločné myšlienky

...and putting them to action!

...a premenili ich na realitu!

Mayor Igor Sajtlava welcomed us at a horse competition in Kezmarok. He even prepared his own home cooked goulash for the team!

Mr.Peter Duda, the Mayor of Velka Lomnica, kindly offered us an elaborate historical book about the village.

Starosta Veľkej Lomnice nám podaroval veľkolepo spracovanú knihu o závideniahodnej histórii obce

Mr Sulej and Mr Dvorsky were novel team members for the afternoon.

Pán Šulej a pán Dvorský z Veľkej Lomnice boli príkladnými členmi nášho popoludňajšieho tímu

As the evening descends we appreciate the blessings that nature offers and the self-giving joy we receive from the people we meet on our journey.

Ako sa schyľuje k večeru, vstrebávame krásu a čaro prírody a radosť, čo sme dostali od ľudí, ktorých sme dnes na svojej ceste stretli...
