Last night I arrived at Zabie Oko after 5 hour by taxi from Gdansk Airport. It was nice to meet my fellow riders for the first time (4 from Switzerland and 5 from Germany) and of course Tadeusz, our Polish guide. This ride will be my 5th with him. I can communicate with Tadeusz in German and the same goes for the German riders. For me to understand Swiss-German is quite a challenge!
After a great Sunday breakfast including cold cuts and freshly made pancakes it was time to collect and prepare the horses. I was assigned "Ethos", a 20 year old trail veteran. We bonded immediately! After 4 hours in the saddle we have now arrived at Dwor Szwalk, a beautiful manor house located next to a lake. From my cosy room I have a glimpse of the lake.
