Guest Rooms Patron Gdansk

Have spent every day of our vacation running about seeing monuments and museums and building styles and churches and old towns. Today is our last day beside the seashore before a 7 ½ hour train ride to Krakow. We thought to take it easy today. Slept late, went to a wonderfully chocolate restaurant for breakfast, determined from the hotel staff that there is no such thing as a coin Laundromat in Poland ...

... milk or dark, white chocolate, and on and on. Oh the menu made one drool. My husband got a classic. I went for the white chocolate with raspberries. Deliciously decadent. How do these people manage to go to work each day? Just sit in the café and have one delightful flavor of chocolate after another. Swiss Miss has been relegated to the back pantry, possibly forever.

... A glass of wine is $20 so you would think you would like to sell some. Beers are $15 each. One evening here, no one comes. Next evening here, we are asked within 5 minutes but we don’t want anything tonight. Next evening, it takes 10 minutes before we are asked if we want a drink. Hubby gets a beer. 10 minutes later his beer comes. I say I would like a drink but she ...

... like a good deal plus we had been looking for a guide yesterday and just couldn't find any in English. We hope into her little electric golf cart vehicle and she plays an explanation of each of the historical buildings from mpg files on her cell phone. Sure can’t get my cell phone to do anything like that. We had already seen a lot of the things she took us around to see but she ...

... are more for him. Try as I might, it was hard to make the bunkers and blown up barracks photogenic.<br><br>I really don't have much more than a passing interest in either war but since it was a gloomy day, what better way to spend a morning. By asking around I found out I could take the 106 bus from some bus stop about a kilometer outside of the Old Town across two bridges and down by the tram tracks. After reaching what I determined to be ...

... Warsaw, as it was not entirely rebuilt after World War II, it remained relatively unscathed.  Walked back to the hotel and went online and had video chat with my family.  It is pretty cool to sit here in my hotel room and be able to sit in on my kitchen and dinner with my family.  Wish this technology had existed years ago with all of the overseas deployments.<br><br>Headed to bed, after midnight here, will post again soon.

Today we were supposed to dock at Gdansk, Poland but the sea was too rough so we had to go up the coast about 10 miles and dock at Gdynia. At Gdansk, a river empties into the sea and that is where the port is. It had been raining so much that the water coming from the river would not allow us to enter. The entry to the port was very narrow, no place to turn the ship around, and we were going to have to back in anyway. Gdynia was the ...

... the centre after experiencing the traffic first hand today! It was quite interesting the way they separate people on this campsite, as it is a very large site right by the beach - they seem to do it by age, with young people at the bottom &amp; the oldies up the top (much nicer pitches up the top though!!) - Sure a few stragglers snuck into the young section as they definitely weren't spring chickens!! When we got the train into Gdansk the next day, we ended ...

... was approaching and talking to obvious tourists. I managed a photo of them and then managed to have one of them approach and talk to me. They wanted to exchange money, zloty for Euro's at double the exchange rate. This was a scam! Either they were going to pass out older and useless Zloty for the Euro, or the second guy would come up as a ******** policeman to examine your money and either claim you money bad ...

... Morning in Gdansk, free breakfast included tea/coffee and hard boiled eggs, bread missing, but soon a new loaf appeared. Off to explore the city after this. We have a decision about our next destination - Berlin. Today we'll get tickets. Tickets were 165zl just 20 more than the bus that leaves on the 14th. This works out better in more ways than one. We did see a lot of the city today and attempted to find cool things listed but ...
