Spent the day riding up and down funiculars, cable cars and ropeways. Have only recently come to appreciate the differences between them although functionally they all do the same thing: get you up (or down) a mountain.
In addition to splendid views, there are amazing things at the top end of these structures, for example glacial lakes (it's summer, so they are full of water at the moment), a bar at a solar observatory where one can get mulled wine and hot chocolate, or a hiking trail.
Photo of the day is Boff looking out at the Tatras from Zakopane, a border town in Poland on the other side of the mountain range of where we spent the night in Slovakia.
We have exchanged our euros for zloty and have arrived in Krakow. One thing I'll never do again: not have accommodation booked for when I arrive in a foreign country for the first time at two in the morning.
