Actually I had no plans for summer holidays…. but my best friend kind of forced me to, because he had to take holidays during summer break. And what ever…. I love travelling, and I never travelled through Poland. My best friends family used to live there. He didnt see his relatives for more than 14 years and somehow he felt it was time to go back to his roots.
We started in the night from saturday to sunday after we visited a free festival from one of our favorite punk bars SONIC BALLROOM in cologne. It was a good idea to go drive through the night, because my car is not climated and the trip to my parents is always a real long distance. We arrived 7 in the morning.
After two days off at my parents place we headed up to baltic sea. Leba, an old touristic place where my grandparents already used to make holidays. Around Leba they have real big dunes, like hills, where people go climbing. We arrived in the afternoon and parked walta, the car a bit outside of the centre, next to the sea. It was perfect.
The sunset was great, but it was a bit strange to see people selling weapons at the beach prominade. Even more when you see all the kids there running around. Leba is a typical place for family holidays. But this is a also a part of polish identity, I guess.
We walked through the centre, where we just saw the typical tourist-souvenir shit like everywhere. It felt like a festival. I can imagine that „Ballermann Mallorca“ feels like this. Bad street musicans, a lot of blinking plastic shit but also good break dancers. We ate a fat dinner. Fish and chips with vegetables. And then we went back home and slept in my loved walta. It was really hard to safe some space for myself because Phiilip needed a lot. But the first night under such conditions is always the worst. After that it got better, definetly.
The next morning we took a bath in the sea and relaxed a bit in the sun, until it was getting too hot. Then we had a big breakfast, real camping style….next to walta with improvised tables.
The next step then was Mikolajki, in the east of Poland.
