Following on from my last High Tatras blog, I have got hold of some more pictures and will therefore continue my story...After decending from the Polish peaks in order to cross the border, we staying in quite a nice little hostel / hotel and becan a massive ascent back up the Slovakian mountain. We climbed for four hours (up almost 1500m) in quite blistering heat which was by far the hardest of our days. Initially though woodland and eventually up the most evil of hillsides. A victory photo from the top is shown below. We then dropped down another couple of hundred meters on the other side to our next mountain hut (at the lakeside as in the picture), before commencing our last day.
On the last day we had quite a pleasant surprise. After making out way through some pretty flat woodland, we were expecting to come down via cable car into the valley. We discovered that at the cable car statiom, you could actually hire little go-carts to carry you all the way down the hill! This was too good an idea to resist!
After being todl by the operator "the company takes no responsibility for any injury" and shortly afterwards "dont overtake one another or you will die", both of which were less than re-assuring, we proceeded to race each other down the mountainside.
