This was the view from our hotel room in Poprad

Vazec cave is the most visited natural landmark of the region. Best known for discoveries of bones of a cave bear.
From Deep Underground
Up to the High Tatras
I had never been on a ski lift before but it was the fastest way to get to the top


When we got to to the top, they had to stop the lift briefly since
I jumped off on the wrong side, oops
Then we walked a ways to the viewing tower


   
We took the hiking path back down the mountain

It was only a few kilometers
Back at our hotel a Roma dance troupe provided lively evening entertainment
