We've arrived in Sweden last Friday.The ferry from Poland (Świnoujście) to Trelleborg took around 7,5 hours. We were welcomed by rain, wind and sudden temperature drop. Max 18°C during the day and duve for the night. But I certainly prefer this to 38°C back home.🙂 The famous red houses! They are really as cute as you think! Fortunately the weather improved and in this days we finally took out our kayak to test. I have never tried kayak so Franco's patience was tested to the limits. Overall I think 🤔 I managed to understand theory and put it into practice. At least we didn't end in water and Franco managed to fish. But I guess there are still a lot of lessons ahead of me.My whole body was killing me after but it was worth it! The peace and the views repayed the fatigue! Obviously a forest excursion is a must! And what a forest! Seems like everywhere you walk on a moquette! There's this magical atmosphere like in old tales. You really feel that t...

We' ve spent few days in lake district in Poland - Mazury. The lake Śniardwy is the biggest lake in Poland but you can choose amongst two thousand other smaller lakes ( yes more than two thousand!!! 😲I didn't know that!).We finally made a proper camp, took out the chairs and the table which declared that this piece of land is ours for 3 days.  There were a lot of people for the weekend but we've managed to find a quiet spot. Everyone was in the water but since we're spoiled and used to clear waters we didn't feel brave enough to have a swim. We found this shells all over and discovered there are mussels in the lake, not edible though🥲. On Saturday we celebrated our tenth anniversary 🥂, 🎉, congrats to both of us🙂.We grilled, ate, drunk and watched the sunset. Then on our way we stopped at Hitler's bunkers in Gierloz.  A very interesting and visited historic attraction.It was like a small city full of bunkers wh...

It's been few days since we finally crossed south east border of Poland. This time our welcoming party consisted of only one but very important friend 🙂. I have a confession to make. I don't know Poland at all. I left when I was 22 so don't actually remember what my country has to offer apart from Baltic sea ( where I am from) and Tatry mountains. So here's the reason that we've decided to first follow east side from south to north. It's a difficult time so yes, we've noticed increased army vehicle movement close to east border. Obviously the Ukrainian conflict is always on the back of each one's head but you don't feel any difference.  Our first stop was Magurski Park Narodowy ( National Park). I didn't know that this park existed. It's quite small but has a lot to offer. Still wild and unspoiled nature, clean river and a feeling of great space.It was a great surprise.  The entry to National Parks in Poland is paid. We didn't have any z...
