It rained last evening. I rained during the night. It rained this morning. So we stayed in bed until until 10.30!!! The rain had stopped and despite the forecast of only 22°C, shorts went back on.

We’d been told not to miss this area. Our opinion: It isn’t as pretty as the Carpathian Mountains further west. And not as stunning or as high as the High Tatras when we were in Slovakia last summer. If you can stay and get out to walk, it would be a great place. We did stop at a few parkings to read the information boards, but bear warnings and very clearly signed No Dogs. Poor Corrie was confined to the van.

So it is pretty, but not stunning. Rolling hills rather than peaks. Pretty haystacks and wooden houses.

The main even was the touristy cable car ride at Solina. We would have liked to walk at the top or walk down, but no paths. Just a kiddies theme park and a restaurant. We shared an indifferent plate, and neither of us finished it. Our first not good Polish meal. We had paid £2 to take Corrie up in the cable car, but she nearly wasn’t allowed down. She needed a muzzle! But we weren’t told that at the bottom! You’ll have to carry her. But she’s 13kgs and doesn’t like being carried! We compromised on keeping her on a short lead.

We decided to stay at the same riverside parking as last night.
