Słowiński Park Narodowy (Slovinski National Park)

A postcrossing postcard from Aleksandra in Poland.

Slovinksi National Park is one of only two sea-side national parks on the north coast of Poland.

It’s famous for its moving sand dunes which can reach 30 or 40 metres in height. Surrounded by marshes, peat bogs and forests, it is home to many different types of birds, as well as foxes and elk.

Slovinski National Park is included in the UNESCO world network of Biosphere reserves.

Thanks for the fascinating postcard, Aleksandra!

The Sands and Pentire Point

A postcard from my mate Simon who’s on holidays in England at the moment.

He’s there in the middle of summer and it’s still too cold for him to go swimming, but he had a great time camping.

From what he says, the ice cream and clotted cream is good too.

Sounds like Simon might need to do a lot more jogging when he gets home again!

Thanks for the postcard Simon.

Looking forward to having a few beers with you when you get home!
