Our second day in Slovakia was probably the best. Although we had an absolutely epic time going up Lomnicky Peak on our first day and being above the clouds, on the Saturday I found my 'ski feet' and we had so much fun! We woke up and had our delicious breakfast at the GrandHotel Starý Smokovec, made the most of the fresh orange juice, and then we put on our ski gear and headed to Strbské Pleso, which is known as being the most beautiful area to ski in Slovakia.
Strbské Pleso is a glacial mountain lake in the High Tatras mountains, set amongst the forest and with the mountain ranges as a backdrop. We were only supposed to have our ski instructor, Jan, for two hours, but he was so lovely and ended up staying with us for five hours! We started off on the nursery slopes again, and then he took us up to the green run.
