Yes, the operator was friendly, but otherwise it was rather 'Eastern' in a not-so-positive sense. The entire facility was quite run-down, and the permanent camping trailers were neglected.
We parked Gary in between them and made our way to the beach.
Finally, finally all conditions aligned: temperature, wind, sun, and we could go swimming in the Baltic Sea. So we spent the afternoon at the beach and finally did swim in the Baltic Sea.
Hungry from splashing around, we packed our things in the late afternoon and went out to eat in the village. Ines treated herself to local pierogi and salad, while Sebb ordered the fried cod with the obligatory French fries.
