backpacking in male karpaty

Last weekend I went backpacking! Finally, it was about time to sleep outside again ;) On Friday, my friend Flexo, his girlfriend Dominika, their friend Biba and I started out in Pezinok, took a bus to Zochova chata and started up the hill :) We stopped at Biba's friends' cabin and tried to persuade them to join us. They have three kids - Jurko (7), Miško (3) and Táňa (2). We made a tentative plan to meet later that day. Then we continued our hike, taking it easy and stopping /for various reasons and periods of time/ quite often. I had to get used to that kind of pace ;) In the evening we met up with Juro, Terka and their kids and camped on a beautiful meadow. We sat by campfire and cooked dinner. On Saturday we stared pretty late but made it to where we planned on camping the second night. The views were gorgeous and the kids were awesome - they (except for little Táňa who had to be carried now and then) walked the whole thing! 
On Sunday, Juro went back to where they had parked the car and the rest of us continued to where he was supposed to pick us up. The whole weekend was fun, the kids did great, the weather was wonderful, we walked through forests and meadows and enjoyed beautiful views.
