Another Hike, Less Rain, and More Dinner

Right after our normal 10,000 calorie breakfast, we picked up bread and smoked salmon from the Biedronka and headed for the hills. It's a very easy 4-hour out-and-back trail that follows the boundary of the town and the National Park.

A row of Oscypek getting smoked - half a kilo for 15 zł

We're luckier with the weather today with just a couple of light showers to dampen our umbrellas. Back at the Tuberoza, we rest our feet after the 12km stroll and have our usual three games of pool. And then we splurge on another lovely meal downstairs.

This time, it's creamy mushroom soup that a Campbell's has never seen, a plate of blanched green asparagus with Hollandaise, spaghetti with oodles of garlic and shrimp, and a lamb ragout with lemon zest.

With the beer and two glasses of wine, we finally broke the 100 zł mark by a shade - before tip! Good thing we're planning a long hike tomorrow to see Morskie Oko. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morskie_Oko Tune in tomorrow to see if we made it.
