Kolobrzeg Arrival

Today we headed back to to the Polish coast for another long weekend, this time in Kolobrzeg. This is the first town we visited in Poland a few years ago, but we haven’t been back as it is hard to find nice places to stay for some reason. Most are studios which I don’t love (I like having a bedroom and a living space separate so when Raymond gets up earlier than me he doesn’t wake me up. He tries to be quiet, but just him moving around will wake me up after a certain point). When looking for places for this weekend I found a place that fit our wishes, though it is not right in the water. It is right across from downtown on an island in the river inlet which is fun. Small bits of water on both sides that is really nice to walk along (though the views from our place are just okay it is still nice sitting out on the balcony and spying on the birds). In the picture after the fish we are staying in the building on the right side (not the bright Orange one - we can see that spot where I took the photo from the balcony).

It was a bit of a mess trying to get out of Berlin today and there were many times I was like maybe we should just cancel and stay home. First the car rental place didn’t think they would have a car for us so that was stressful trying to find something else last minute (thankfully they found one at another location a bit farther away, but not too far so I went and picked that up). Then the traffic was horrible and I forgot some things so we had to loop around through it a few times which put us behind scheduled (we had to try and get here to pick up the keys before the front desk closed) and I was like we are never going to make it! Luckily we got here with 4 minutes to spare…I feel like there was more as it was thing after thing today going wrong, but once we got here it was so nice and I’m glad we made it! Normally I bring dinner so we don’t have to worry about it (or eat it on the way if we leave later), but there are so many places I wanted to try here and not enough time for them all so we had to eat dinner out. We tried this Thai place that a short walk and was so good!! Panang Curry, pad Thai, and these sticky rice balls with sweet potato for dessert. The dessert was light and delicious and not something we have had before! Everything was so good!

After dinner we took a short walk around town - really only like 1 block farther than we were and then looped around on another street and there were so many fun things we found! Lots of statues and on the side of the military museum there were all these murals depicting the history which was fun. Then a walk along the water back to our place. It had said it was supposed to rain all day, but it was gorgeous here! Perfect weather for sitting outside and enjoying! Tomorrow we will explore town more and see what we find!Читать далее
