Hello, my dears. Our summer is in full swing with adventures and good mood. It has been forty degrees outside for several weeks in a row. It is unbearable. There is no fresh air even at night. So my husband and I decided to arrange a romantic trip for ourselves and go to the mountains. It was decided. We quickly packed our suitcases. We also quickly decided where to go. The Christmas before last, we went to the mountains to the city of Zakopane, which is located in Poland. This time we decided to go there in the summer. We left home at three in the morning so as not to drive in the heat. We filled up the diesel at the nearest gas station and went to meet adventures.
The closer we got to Poland, the cooler the weather became. It was cool. Already in Poland, the thermometer in our car showed 25 degrees Celsius. Finally, we will take a break from the heat. We arrived at the hotel after lunch, closer to the evening. There was a parking lot near the hotel. At the reception, we were given a key card for the room and warned that we had to pay a little more money in cash for the regional tax. It's not a big deal, but we weren't prepared for it. We booked the hotel and paid for it immediately through Booking.com, we weren't warned about any additional fees. But that's not the point. The most important thing is that we came to relax.
After we checked into the room, we immediately went for a walk. Since it was already evening, we decided that on this day we would just go to a tavern to try the local cuisine and drinks.
About half a kilometer from the hotel, we found a cozy place. It was the Zornitsa tavern with Polish cuisine. There was live music playing in the tavern, there were wooden tables and benches. There were bear skins on the benches. We went up to the second floor and sat down by the window. When the waitress came, we asked her to bring us something to her taste, but local. For hot dishes, we were served baked pork knee, baked trout with vegetables, fried shrimp and ribs. For drinks, we tried several types of Soplica tincture, which has 50 and 70 degrees of alcohol, and local beer Watra. If you ever visit Poland, you should definitely try the tincture. I really liked the way the dishes were served. The shrimp were served in a mini-frying pan. It was not only delicious, but also very beautiful. The bread in the tavern is baked in-house and very tasty. Soplica tincture comes in different flavors. We chose cherry tincture, which has 50 degrees of alcohol, and quince tincture, which has 70 degrees of alcohol. It was incredibly alcoholic, but very tasty. The pork knee was so tender that it melted in your mouth. In general, we love to try and experiment with dishes. We have been to many countries and now at home we cook not only our national dishes, but also dishes of other nations.
Well, after dinner we went to rest in the hotel. After all, the next day the most charming places of Zakopane await us. And I will tell you about them tomorrow.
Lovely travel log with taste of Poland, food looks exceptionally well prepared and plated. Look forward to seeing the region when you next post. Have a wonderful weekend.
