What&#8217;s that?&#8221; my eyes squinted as I re-entered the land of the woken, dragged back to conciousness by something odd. &#8220;Sun. It&#8217;s sunshine. Mountains!!!&#8221; Realising we might be able to see the High Tatras behind me, I swung myself out of bed and pulled back a curtain. Blue sky, sweet! But hold on a sec, there&#8217;s still a cloud crowning the peaks, as though they themselves we creating\u00a0it, which I guess they were. After observing the sky for an hour we decided to go for it, handing over \u20ac96 (including a \u20ac4 deposit for the passes) once the ticket office opened at 8:30am.<\/p>\n<p>There are actually three cable cars to get you right up to the\u00a0Lomnick\u00fd \u0161t\u00edt peak, up at 2634m,\u00a0and the last of the three can only take 15 punters at a time (it&#8217;s an animal of a cable car!), so you&#8217;re given a timed slot. We got 10am, and by then the peak itself was well-hidden in the mists. The stunning views\u00a0weren&#8217;t to be today, but we enjoyed every minute of it anyway, especially since it&#8217;s Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Our trip up started well. A jolt from Ju just a few metres along the first ride spun me round to spot a deer making a dash for cover, a beautiful animal. There are bears, wolves and lynx knocking about in these woods, and we felt lucky to have spotted a big animal up here. As we&#8217;re not hikers, we don&#8217;t tend to see the rare fauna which I used to imagine only managed to survive in Europe ensconced in\u00a0zoos, not out in the wilds mixed up with humans.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21394\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21394\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21394\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01255-1024x487-1024x487.jpg\" alt=\"Deer!

I&#8217;m finding this a bit awkward these days, to explain to people we&#8217;re travelling for as long as we want to. It takes most people aback, especially those who love to travel, and at least\u00a0some of them would kill to have the opportunity we have, which is why we wrote about how we managed to do it (<a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/funding-freedom-free-mini-guide-available-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">get the mini-guide here for free, spread the love folks<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The second lift drops you off at a mountain lake, Skalnat\u00e9 pleso, which for us was half frozen, in mid May! The weather forecast was for -3\u00baC at the top, so we were well togged up. Later on we met a Hawaiian couple at the top, who exclaimed &#8216;oh my, oh my it&#8217;s cold&#8217; over and again, quite accurately (see below). Ju loaned the lady one of her two sets of gloves, and the Hawaiian lady gave us some rather tasty macadamia nut\u00a0chocolates from home as a thank you. Anyway, from the lake level trails lead off into the hillsides, with a beautiful view down over the Slovakian plain to the east.

Heading inside before it docked, the cable car man attempted to stifle panic that we might not make it in time,\u00a0but we all safely crammed in there. Not for the claustrophobic! Or those afraid of heights I would say, but we were only really aware of the crazy dangling predicament of the thing when we reached the top and the mists allowed a pleasantly eye-widening view of the vertical, ice and rock we were lazily clawing our way up. Right at the top the car stopped for a minute, dangling above the precipice, presumably to steady it but sending a shiver of nervous laughter through the cabin!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21400\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21400\" class=\"wp-image-21400 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC01316-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"15 of us?

We watched one couple with a toddler, wincing at the thought of a slight mishap which would send the nipper\u00a0into the abyss.
