Before the new year we went for a short trip to Poland to visit the city Szczecin. It depends where in Berlin you live but we took about 1,5 to 2 hours by car. The German name of the city is Stettin. The city is located at Oder River and lies 120 km north east from Berlin. It's a major seaport of Poland.
When we arrived it was already dark - anyhow by 4 pm it still gets dark these days.... and found a parking place. Asking a fellow about the parking fee, he spoke some English but no German, he helped us and payed the fee for 10 minutes. Changing money at the bank later we found out that anyhow only from 8 am to 5 pm you need to get a parking ticket.
Some impressions of the evening:
The cold and rainy weather made us escape into the Shopping Center in the Center. Same shops like in Germany and also beautiful Christmas decoration:
On the top floor we found many culinary stalls from Asia to Mc Donald and Salad Bar. Also now we know what Berlin is famous for:
We had not booked anything in advance because we couldn't decide before and didn't want to drive endlessly. Therefore the hotel might have been slightly expensive but very classy. Only we mistook the sound of the air freshener for a mouse under the cupboard ... haha.
Next day still cold but beautiful blue sky:
