Adv Club - Slovakia and Poland
Hi everyone, It’s me again, the HPM flag. I just got back from some incredible hiking in the Tatra and Pieniny mountain ranges along the Polish/Slovakian border with my human carrier Deanna Springall. For this adventure, my nickname became "Flaga" in Polish or "Vlajka" in Slovakian.
This was really different from my June sojourn to Uganda and Rwanda! While the earlier trip involved trekking through mud and dense jungles to see primates in their natural habitat, Poland and Slovakia offered five days of challenging hikes amid spectacular mountain scenery and incredible cultural experiences!
