Last weekend was like no other one in all my life. There were completely different days, which I discovered the real Slovakia and its gorgeous nature.
The weekend was free, so I obviously spent it with my family. Although I also spent these days with Raquel and Mireia and their Slovak families.

First we just took the car, it was only 2-hour-trip going to the mountains, we were going to High Tatras, probably the best place in Slovakia.
We got to a village, a little one called, Nova Lesna, it was a cold and deserted place, where during the ski season it's full of people.
The was house was nice and we had a nice time there.

The first day was so tiring, hard, but also I had the opportunity to see the gorgeous landscape I've never seen before.
We took a couple of trains in order to get a ski resort, Tatranska Lomnica. There some cable cars took us to the top of the mountains.
From there we were able to see beautiful sights.
The mountain was completely covered in snow, and a lot of people were skiing there, but also a lot were just spending the day like an excursion.
In that mountain we could visit a lake called Skalandé that was completly frozen.
From that part of the ski resort, we were able to see an astronomic observatory, which can be visited just taking a huge cable car that takes you to the top of one of the highest mountains in Tatras, but we didn't visit it.
Then we decided to go down again, but on foot!!!!!
We took a gorgeous route going to parts of the mountain covered by snow or frozen... Also we got into the forest, which has enormeous trees ans beautiful rivers.
But also there we could apreciate the horrors of nature, because a hurricane destroyed parts of the forest 10 years ago. A lot of trees and wood is still there, there are zones that reminded a desert, because there was no tree there.
A part from this, the route was beautiful and very enjoyable, the union of snow and forest made something unforgetable.
But also that route was long, it took us nearly 4 hours and more than 20km done to complete it, so it's not a piece of cake.
At the end we arrived in a village where we had lunch and finally we came back to the house.
That night we prepared a catalan dinner, doing a potato omelet and Pa amb tomàquet. The Slovaks enjoyed them a lot.

The second day was not as tiring as the first.
We just visited a couple of lakes. The first one, Popradske pleso, we had to walk one hour, 7km more or less, but the way was incredible. All was covered by snow and the forest was surrounded by huge mountains and everything there was perfect.
We arrived at the lake, which was frozen, but it was starting to melt because of the hot weather.
Then we took the car and we got to another lake, Strabske pleso, which is a very turistic zone, full of hotels, spas and ski resorts. But the lake was even bigger than the other but also frozen, and the sights there were incredible.
Then we came back home, because the next day we had more activities, but with everybody.
We had an awesome weekend!!!!
