After a good night’s sleep it was time to make a fire  to warm the residence again. 

Scott went to find the animals and make friends with the donkey. It was overcast again and ice covered the grass areas and fields.

Check out was 11am so we packed our belongings and begrudgingly left this wonderful quaint accommodation. 

Onward to Swinoujście for an early lunch. We settled into Restauracja Polska where we were given complimentary shots of cherry liqueur plus bread slices with schmalz and pickle. I chose the Rosol (chicken soup) with a Margarita and Scott ordered the Beef Goulash with beer.

After lunch we drove to the beach. It was an unusual sight for us to see snow on the sand and the shells crunched and shattered as we walked over them.  Although many people were walking along the beach, it was clear that it was a good hangout for the birds! The cold wind kept this visit short before we wandered back into the touristy part of town to buy some wares. The area seemed to be the ‘Gold Coast’ of Poland with its many luxury apartments, walkways and tourist activities. 

We then went for a drive across the border to find petrol for the car in Germany but the Sixt app misinformed us and Scott had to pay for the petrol this time. Teresa went over to the Biedronka supermarket for some supplies and bubbles.

Our apartment in Swinoujście had check in at 4.30 so we found another warm restaurant and ordered drinks and hot chips. We were next to the city centre and watched as people admired the Christmas decorations and went about their daily activities. This restaurant also gave us complimentary shots of cherry liqueur if we promised to leave a positive review on Google.

The sun had set at 4:30 as we wandered to our apartment for the evening. It was on the 9th floor and had a great view of the harbour. 

We went bed early as we had to catch the ferry to Trelleborg at 6am the next morning.
