In Zakopane we saw two churches, spent and hour in-town, had lunch with entertainment and a horse carriage ride. Unfortunately, it rained most of the day. We spent our free time in a restaurant having a beer to stay out of the rain. Fortunately the rain subsided during our carriage ride. All in all, it was a good day in-spite of the rain.
