29th June: The way home—Dagmara’s home

We woke up today, just to find that it was still drizzling. Since it rained the whole day and night yesterday, the surrounding sort of fogged up. So, no cable car up to the mountains in the mountain and no horseback riding. boohoo…Well I don’t really mind not having a horse ride because they are so smelly. But according to Dagmara, the view, if we were to go up was really breath-taking. Oh well, like what the Polish said skoda (too bad).

So we packed our bags in the morning, and decided to go for McDonald’s for breakfast. We lost our way once we were out of the housing area and had to asked for directions. We drove all the way to the Polish-Slovakia border. We wanted to get some sweets to just realised we could not use our Polish Zloty anymore. The locals never fail to entertain us. We stopped this local and asked him where McDonald was. He asked us if that place sells pizza or something? Hahaha in the end, we have to thank Daniel for his GPS!

So after breakfast, it’s a really long drive back to Kalisz. Boyfriend and I practically KO-ed behind the car LOL, such piggies. So, half way through the drive, we stopped by this cafe in a town, well I forgotten what the town was called to have this huge pizza! They said you get what you paid for, which is indeed what we got! Not delicious blek! But just something to line our stomachs.

After lunch, the drives continues. Dagmara kept feeling bad for not showing us the best part of Zakopane, so she suggested to go to this famous monastery on the way home. People from all around the world will come here during some days for pilgrimage. The monastery was huge and when we were there, there was also a few groups of visitors from Italy. And the picture of the previous pope was everywhere too!

After an hour or so, we continued the drive home, only to met with an adventure. We were on this coastal road back to Kalisz and the road was a little bumpy. So we were all chatting in the car and the boys wanted to get photos of the sun setting. And there was this hole/a little elevated ground, I couldn’t remember and Dagmara couldn’t stop in time to avoid it, so the car went on it and actually flew up a little! Our hearts all skipped a beat and luckily we were all safe!

After that little adventure, we stopped to allow the boys to take photos of the beautiful sunset. Nature never fails to mesmerize us in its own way. Look at this!

The nature never fails to surprise us

So, we reached home and Dagmara’s mother was so kind to prepare us dinner (supper to them). Tomorrow is yet another country. Czech Republik!
