Dziwnow Poland 2023 - Part 1

For international Women's Day last year we decided to head up to the Polish coast again - this time to Dziwnow. Since the holiday was on a Wed we headed up Tues night, Raymond worked from there Thurs and Fri and we had the weekend to explore. This was taken at night when we got into our place where we were staying. 

Again right on the beach with views of the water from the living room!

I loved it!

First day it was off to explore

It was so cold the sand was frozen in places







All the frozen sand! I had never seen that before so that was fun









So cold I had to put my mask on to keep my face warm!


We made it to "town"

We had lunch here - this was an inlet to a pretty big water area/lakes that go down to Szcezcin. 



This sign says something like only beets throw garbage into the forest - don't be a beet! Which I found pretty funny. Don't be a beet!


Kitty in a tree

Town is really small, but there is this one walkway that has a ton of these with the names of famous Polish athletes which was fun to wander through




This was the square of friendship, with items representing each city, between Dziwnow, Gorzow Wielkopolski (cinder motorcycle which is popular there), Werneuchen (tree from their coat of arms and forest location), and Sosnowiec (mining cars for the coal from the city)

This was a memorial to the wounded Greek people in the Greek Civil War in 1949 who covertly were smuggled into Poland to receive care

Walking along the forested path by the beach

Sunset from out place!

The next day Raymond was working so I had some crocheting to do, but also took a small wander down the beach the other way




And walked back through the forest which was really nice




So nice being able to relax and enjoy the views, or take a wander down the beach! I love it on the coast!

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Day 11 - Kerid Crater & Reykjanes Peninsula

Day 11 our first stop was Kerid Crater. This was nice, but nothing special. You have to pay to get in, you can walk around the top and then down to the water, but if you are going to be seeing other craters then this is an easy one to skip. Nice, but nothing special. 

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install ...
