Hello-
i got a little question..

Me and my wife and 2 daughters (9and 12) are

Going to be spending 3 nights in Krakow and 4 in Zakopane this June

1-for Dolina Chochołowska, what is

the price for

*horse-drawn carriages

* tractor with trailers ?

2-for Morskie Oko , shall I take my rental car and park in the designated parking or is it cheaper and better for me to take the bus from Zakopane ?

I heard the ques are very lone in the summer time if I take the bus from the center- on the other hand parking at morskie oko is expensive too.

So what do u think, and thanks in advance ...

Tell us, why do you always come to Zakopane?

For the same reason that Poles go to Hurghada

There is no comparison. Poles, especially all-inclusive ones, don't even leave their hotel.

That's not a plus.

The people who go to Zakopane go for cool weather and a family atmosphere.

I never could either. It always seemed unadventurous and ignorant. Until someone (the philosopher Julian Baggini) pointed out that there's a difference between travellers (who are tourists but pretend they aren't), tourists and holidaymakers. He was writing about the most average post code in the U.K. in terms of metrics and balance.between black/white, urban/rural, educated/uneducated etc. It's where I spent my teens, S66.

The book is a mildly annoying but good one. He's presenting small town working class life to people who go to independent coffee shops, have investment plans, read books by writers like him and have generally never done a hard day's work in their lives.this is what he says about the difference between tourists and holidaymakers.

Tourists want to see the old cathedral, go to the wine tasting, buy some lovely ceramic pots and some vintage Le Creuset and eat the lovely home made local cuisine.

Holidaymakers live in shĩt places miles from anywhere, do soul-destroying shĩt jobs and don't have much to look forward to or that much agency in their own lives. They just want a fortnight of a better version of what they've got at home.

Not everyone who goes to big seaside resorts fits that pattern, however enough do.
