Sianozety

Its mating season for the Pine Martin! Not a big deal for most of you, but if you’re living in a cabin perched up in the pine trees it takes on a huge significance. The little beggars were chasing each other around on our cabin rooves and doing what Pine Martins do from about 11.00 on. It could have been worst, apparently in spring they have an appetite for car wiring looms and hoses. Anyway I didn’t get a lot of sleep 😴 Today we’ve finally got onto Eurovelo route 10 which we will use for most of the trip now. It’s not fast going but at least it’s smooth. That’s the sea beside usIn a little while we were at Rewal and for 5 kms we ran beside the railway. Great 👍 Decisions décisions! Do we follow bike maps advise and go left ,or EV10 and go right. We went left….after 5 kms it turned to cobbles .This was the old main road. It continued like this for 10 more bone shaking *=#*ing kms. ( riding on the pine needles was better ). Finally , it came to a dead end at an army outpost. I begged to be let through but the guard sent us back 1 km where we found a way back to the correct route. EV10 !! It came out at the fishing village of Mrzezyno. When I went to take this photo I realised that my phone was missing. Racing back I found it on the ground on the other side of the river. Whew Rogowo. During our coffee stop I had a chat with Helmut a local Doctor. There’s been many things I’ve wondered about but no one spoke good enough English to explain. Eg. Every where in Europe is multicultural, (and at home, ) but since we’ve been in Poland we’ve never seen one Indian, Chinese , African or anyone that isn’t Polish. He said part of it was policy but he thought the main reason was that workers here get paid one third the average wage they can get elsewhere in Western Europe. If I look cold it because it’s dropped to 20 today Expect that to change though. This whole coast is booming. We came here years ago in a camper and there was nothing along here except the odd fishing village There are several of these old lighthouses along this coast. Still in useand did I say no other cultures ? Polish Hare Krishnas and there was an Indian lady amongst them. They were singing and dancing to advertise a festival this weekend. The city of Kolobrzeg. A major ferry port and big on classical music by the looks.Since Mrzezyno The trail has been wonderful (and very busy )and for the last 15 kms today it ran beside the sea on this surface ! It’s been a fairly strong wind from behind all day and we were fair flying into Sianozerty.
