Travel / Another video I'd like to share: Kasprowy Wierch [VIDEO] [15]

I remember that this little train to Gubałówka used to be made of wood, riding it was so shaky and exciting.

I would have liked to have ridden on a shaky, little train made of wood up that hill. I'm glad I was able to conjure up some of your fond memories. I will watch this video over and over again in the years to come. My travels.

And yes, neighbor indeed, beckski!

Travel / A video I'd like to share: Zakopane, 8-hour Hike [VIDEO] [26]

I don't remember the name(s) of the trail. I'm sure if I look back at the 300+ photos that my friend took, I will be able to track our trail since he took pictures of every sign. Plus, his photos have time stamps as well as my raw videos so we could track the actual times it took us to travel from one point to the next. If my memory serves me right however, this was our trail: tinyurl/3ajxwak

The following selected Google Maps markers should correspond to the video timecode.

A - 0:00
F - 0:56
K - 1:20
M - 2:06
P - 3:24
T - 3:35
V - 3:40
X - 3:50

As far as shoes and gear were concerned, I thought it was just going to be an easy hike. I didn't wear the proper attire and brought the right gear but we we've managed.

Dzieki! Perhaps, it's worth looking into sharing this video with travel agencies.

I'm not sure I have any more videos to share other than the Salt Mine in Wieliczka and Wawel Castle. I don't know if I'm going to edit those. I went to Paris last year but I haven't edited the video. I think I'll start on that, but it won't be for this forum ;) It'll just be on YT.

Yes, Pinoy :)

Glad you all enjoyed it. My friend who used to work in search and rescue mentioned those statistics to me. In the summer especially when it's warm (I just had to add that since it was summer when I was up there, but it was cold!) thousands and thousands of people hike each year.

As promised, I have another video up on YouTube. I wanted to edit my first post and add it there but I can't. So, I'll start a new thread. Hope that's ok.

Dziekuje bardzo! I enjoy making these videos and I'm happy to put my (amateur) skills to good use. Poland is a beautiful country. I'm glad my friend was able take me around (Krakow, Zakopane, Warsaw, Gdynia, and Gdansk). The people, the culture, the landscape, the villages -- very rich and quite different than what I'm used to. Like I said in the video, I'm from the tropics where we have 85F weather year-round. I'm in Southern California now. I'm fascinated by the many things I see during my travels!

I have another video in the works. In this next video, my friend and I visit Kasprowy Wierch and Gubalowka.

Berry theives. LOL. I know that the purple flowers (not sure of the name) are protected by the National Forestry (or whatever equivalent organization). Berries were good!

The song at the end is "Fireflies" by Owl City.
