Mechelinki has been a sleepy little fishing village on the Polish Baltic coast. Not far away are holiday resorts like Rewa, Hel and Sopot, but almost no tourists have found their way to Mechelinki... yet. But that may be about to change. With the help of EU funding, the village has been able to build a pier on the water, and restaurants and hotels are starting to spring up.

Yesterday it was time to leave Poland and head for the ferry. We had to wait for a long time in the ferry terminal before we could roll on, but finally it was time to head for Stockholm. The ferries are pretty boring really, but we were a big group and still had a good time.
Read moreNow we have made it to Stogi campsite in Gdansk. We have been here before, but this time it was difficult to find because they are rebuilding the roads. In the end we got there anyway. This campsite is crowded but the service is good: almost all staff speak English, you get maps and there is a small restaurant/shop.
Read moreWe are at Camping Metropolis in Sopot and have now been joined by Peter's brother Dennis and his family. And that does not mean few people! The entire large American motorhome is packed. In addition, Peter's youngest son Billie came along. (He sleeps in our motorhome because we have five beds, but we can only have four in the car when we drive...) So now there are many of us at camping Metropolis in Sopot!

Read moreToday we went to the salt mine in Wieliczka in Poland. We were not completely alone, so to speak. A lot of queuing was part of the visit. First you had to queue to buy tickets, then to get in and last (but not least) to get out again. Despite this, it was a very interesting and fascinating visit. Join us at the Wieliczka salt mine in Poland!
