Day 6

Our guide was here bright and early and we were soon off for a long hike after a hearty breakfast of eggs and bacon. The hike was 12km which was very tiring, but the paths and views were beautiful. It took 2 and a half hours to reach the top where we were met with a breathtaking view, and a chance to finally eat some lunch! The walk back was easier and equally as picturesque. 

Along the way the guide pointed out fresh mint, certain herbs and berries in addition to facts about the national park Slovenski Raj. Sadly we didn't see much wildlife, however we just caught sight of a deer at the very end. 

We had some free time back at the house to catch up on our 'Slovakia Challenge' for the week and some of us napped. We had an early dinner then changed and left to meet the girl scouts again. After rounders, Bulldogs, under/over and lots of chatting, we had to make our way back as it was suddenly getting dark. We also got to sing Happy Birthday to one of the Slovakian Scouts! Back at the house we warmed up with a hot chocolate and plan on an early night as we are tired out from all of the activities we have enjoyed today. It was sad saying a final goodbye to the Scouts as it reminded us of how close we are to the end of our trip, but we still have another full day tomorrow that we are all looking forward to.
