Our neighbor last night!We spoke to Muff and Puff. Puff is very happy with his new lathe. I told them of our stove problems and that the new glow plug got it going again, well unbeknown to me during the call it failed again…. Not sure if it overheated but definitely would not restart one blink orange glow plug error.
While speaking to
Chris the parking attendant arrived and asked for €3.50. The same is
paid for a days park.
It was a cold day so we headed to the caves. It took a little while to find them but once found we had an hour to wait. The caves at a cost of €8 were spectacular the biggest caves we had been into. Some of a height of 30m. Lots of stalactites and stalagmites and “water flow” shapes. A lot of work had been put into the path. We walked underground for over 1km and at times it reminded us of the Escher prints with stairs at crazy angles. One of the paths had been dug about 2 feet into the ground to enable enough height for walking.

This area is called
the lower Tatras and has a lot of tourism infrastructure. Skiing,
hiking bike trails, lifts, caves, boat rides etc. We had wanted to
take the gondolier to the top for a view of the surrounds but still a
very hazy day.
Leaving the area and
drove south through the park on a white road still sealed but a small
quiet road.
Cheekily we parked
just above the road with a few firs between us and the road. With a
view down the valley. Needed all the blocks plus John dug two wheel
holes to get level.
As I was cooking I noticed a guy walk up. John opened the door to say "gidday". The guy hid something behind his back and John and he tried to communicate. The man was a little upset we were there, as he had dumped a load of corn just a little further on to attract the deer and we were in his hide!! However he had just come up tonight to hang his sensor camera in the tree to see what turned up. Every now and again he’d seemingly argue with himself and when john laughed and said he didn't understand there was more laughter. The man finally said it was OK as long as there was no squeaking of the vehicles springs and we must be quiet. (the international hand signals helped here). John went with him to put the camera up, and received a big slavic beer hug when the guy left.
Had a quiet night.
