Mielno, Poland to Kolpinsee, Germany

Breakfast buffets are one of the most interesting cultural experiences of traveling. The buffet at Baltivia Resort this morning was a perfect example. There were lots of foods we didn’t recognize like the scoops of what looked like maybe potatoes salad and others we don’t normally see at breakfast, like the big pickles. I tried some kind of liver sausage and onions which was very good.

Our drive today would have taken just over 2 hours if we had taken the freeway but we took the backroads and it took about 4 hours. The picture below is a rest area we stopped at.

Near the end of the drive we entered Germany. German road signs are much easier to guess the meaning of than Polish road signs.

Tonight we are at another wonderful resort on the Baltic coast. The hotel is called Strandhotel Seerose. Seerose translates to water lily.

After we checked in we went for a walk on the beach.

Opposite the beach is a lovely lagoon.

We had an excellent dinner in the hotel restaurant.
