Gubałówka

Thursday 10 July 2008 | general

Last day in Orawa/Podhale. Tired Girl; semi-eager Cousin W. Only one thing to do — go to Gubałówka.

Up the inclined railway

Down the metal bobsled-ish ride with Aunt K:

And then a bite to eat.

Grill plus

Cousin W had a crepe:

French Polish

K and I shared potato pancakes with garlic sauce

And something Poles will recognize but I will refrain from describing further:

Kaszanka

We went to the new “line park.”

Cousin W had a blast on the kids’ zip line.

Then a pony ride,

a group portrait,

and a return to a young lady very happy to see her mother.

  1. That kaszanka looks v. good. Made me salivate. As we’re in the UK right now, I can’t have any. British black pudding sadly does not compare to a plate of fried kaszanka. Mmmm…

  2. Oh, it was tasty. Plus a Tyskie and a view of Giewont — doesn’t get much better.

    The first time I ate kaszanka it was difficult for me to finish knowing what it was. But I thought, “Hey, it actually tastes great, so who cares what it is?”

  3. I see you’ve had good weather. But what’s with the sweaters??? (I say that with a smile: when I took my daughters to Zakopane in July some years back, I bought them wool sweaters and caps at the market and they used them right then and there!)
