Slow Service

This lovely card was sent from Poland as priority mail on 13 Dec. 2018. We got it on 15 Jan. 2019.
The postal service in our area has become quite slow. Last year in March 2018, we received a Christmas card which had been sent from Poland before Christmas 2017. Quite disappointing.

Sopot

Country: Poland
from: Polish Lady Abroad

Sopot, situated by the Baltic Sea (actually the Baltic Bay), together with Gdynia and Gdansk it is part of so-called the Tricity. Sopot has the longest wooden pier in Europe. Every year the pier is partially demolished by the sea in the winter and renovated in the spring.

Sopot is a small city but it is very popular among tourists who enjoy its unique atmosphere, sandy beach and the opera built in the woods (among others).

If you still have not been there, the city is worth visiting. From Sopot, you can go by commuter train to Gdansk (not far) and to Gdynia as well.

Another Very Snail Mail Card

It seems the snail mail service really deserves its name these days. After almost a month we got another Christmas card (which was posted by air mail a week before Christmas). Although my relatives paid for fast delivery, we got such a slow service in exchange. Disappointing.
