Yesterday it was time to leave Poland and head for the ferry. We had to wait for a long time in the ferry terminal before we could roll on, but finally it was time to head for Stockholm. The ferries are pretty boring really, but we were a big group and still had a good time.
Polferries
Polferries has bought up old Gotland ferries that are a little worn, but perfectly ok.

We danced until quite late and today we enjoyed the sun on deck. But in Stockholm we were met by rain, thunder and hail ...



From sun to thunder and hail
