Day 10 - The Polish Seaside

Today our goal is to get to somewhere close to Gdansk. We leave our lovely orchard campsite and head off along the coast. We encounter our first serious hills through beautiful beech forest. Eventually the hills finish and we are back down on the low lying coast - very like the Netherlands. We have large rivers to cross and our map has little boat symbols on it. On the Nogat, for example we are carried across by this little ferry operated by a pulley.

We're heading for the Polish seaside and the roads get busier. Eventually we arrive at the seaside village of Jantar and find an extremely busy site. There are discos, ice cream vendors, fast food joints, amusement arcades - the works. We are invited to pay and find a place to pitch our tent. The campsite is heaving with people - where to go? Then we notice that the campsite fence runs up the hill into the pinewoods a bit - we climb a hill and find a perfect pitch overlooking the whole site - car borne campers just won't be bothered lugging all their paraphernalia up here so we camp here.

We're on schedule and tomorrow we will head into Gdansk
