Wonderful Hotel in Krynica!

Krynica-Zdrój is a beautiful city. It is a real tourist attraction for the local Poles, but not very well known to Americans. The website marketing description is "Krynica Zdrój – the pearl of the Polish health resorts – is a town located in a valley of the Beskid Sądecki Mountains. The Promenade in the town centre is a special place. It is beautifully decorated with flowers during summer and fairy-tale-like lighting in winter."
Here are some pictures.

Last night we stayed at the Hotel Grant. The rooms were full of warmth and so were the owners. They had a large variety of rooms from luxury with jacuzzi to the typical European. Modern bathrooms were a big plus. Although we didn't have time to use them, the sauna and exercise room looked very nice.

Before we left, they insisted on feeding us a wonderful breakfast (which was free). I'll be going back here to visit again for sure!

I did get a couple of snowboard runs in at the local ski station - Jaworzyna Krynicak. Two runs doesn't sound like much, but they were extremely looong ski trails and challenging too (2600 meters with a 18-26% slope).

Love the updates Rob. Cool you were hanging out with the owner's kid, too bad it wasn't "her name was ___."
