Just another cruising day. No great direction other than the obvious - the Polish-German border in a few days.
The Pomeranian Dukes castle in Słupsk.
We gave the coastal Baltlic towns a miss - mostly members of the bucket-and-spade league and heavily populated with Polish holiday makers.
Traveled through central Pomeranian agricultural landscape this morning. Cerial crops interspersed with Baltic Pine forests and plantations.
Many areas of Baltic pine during our drive this morning.
We stopped for a short time at Lebork before travelling on to Słupsk. Here we parked in front of the delightful neogothic town hall - built in 1901 - had lunch and was entertained by a number of wedding groups that rolled through for their civil ceremony.
Hilton in on the act again - and in front of the town hall! We later wandered around the town and took in some of the older and younger sites. A pleasant town but more of an administrative area than a tourist destination.
Old town gate amidst modern buildings. An interesting display inside the foyer of St Jacks Church. Polish memories are long term - and we don't blame them! (Google Translator will help with the message.)
We later did a major stop on the outskirts of the town for the navigator to buy some shoes!
Late in the afternoon we drove on to Sławno for our overnight stop.
Some extras:
A large statue of Pope John-Paul in Lębork. John-Paul is a most revered character across Poland. His contribution to Polish freedom today is recognised where ever we have visited.
Castle, mill and Witches Tower on the right - Witches Tower refers to a tower in a medieval town wall that often was used as a prison.
More of the town's old fortification.
It was interesting to see that all the wedding guests arrived carrying bunches of flowers - as can be seen in the boot of the car after the ceremony.
