The weather forecast wasn't great for later in the day but we were confident that we would make it to lunch up high be for the weather closed in. We took a little shuttle train a few villages over then a funicular train up the mountain. We were to walk a well worn path up and across the face of the mountain to a chair lift base overlooking Tatraska Lomnica where we had come from.
When I say well worn path I don't mean perfectly smooth and easy to walk. Well marked certainly but most of the path is rocky and you need to look at where you are going. This meant that every now and again lift g your head meant that you caught some magnificent views of valley, towns in the distance and sky. We passed several walkers, travelling in both directions, passed magnificent fast running water and walked across ice and snow to arrive just in time for lunch. Just as we arrived the weather started to close in, but didn't start raining until two chair lift rides later we were safely back in town.
Thunderstorms ensued, so we stayed indoors, and like many thunderstorms, short lived. The rain stayed but only a light drizzle so e ventured outside after Dinner to watch an ice hockey game (Slovakia v Norway) at a local pub. I didn't stay to the end so can't tell you the result. If only I had some way of finding out. Oh wait, I do .... Norway 3 d Slovakia 2. Probably just as well to have left at 2 all.
