Mechelinki - The charming little fishing village in Poland

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.

Once, several years ago, we visited a place in Tanzania called Tanga. It was a mistake that we ended up there, but we will never forget it. It started with the unrest during the 2007 elections in Kenya. We fled by taxi and crossed the border on foot. Then we jumped on a local bus.

New Year's Eve on the beach in Langkawi

Yesterday we celebrated New Year's Eve in Langkawi, at a place by the beach called Oasis. For 100 ringgit (about 200 SEK) per person we got a buffet, fire, lanterns and fireworks. The nicest surprise was that Linda, Ludvig and their children, from Mary af Rövarhamn, came to join us, along with another Swedish family they know who are staying at a nearby hotel.

Camping Metropolis in Sopot, Poland

We 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.

So now there are many of us at camping Metropolis in Sopot!
