... is a piece of green amber. Hubby found an amber elephant which was a bit pricier than he desired but he hardly ever finds anything for a souvenir so it is going home with us.

Wandering and wandering back around the town, through the market to pick up some food for the train trip on Saturday and back to Sopot and the hotel. Tomorrow it will definitely be ocean viewing and pier walking.

... ice cream in the morning, a nice ice cream soft serve or a regular cone. Later in the morning though the gofry places started opening up. A waffle all by itself is rather inexpensive, about $1. But you have to add the whipped cream and fruit to make it especially delicious. Gonna have another one tomorrow

... medals, books, letters .... Other streets will lead you to a huge Gothic cathedral or to the Town Hall.

The embankment along the river Motława is normally packed with people. Its main attraction is a medieval building called Zuraw (literally 'a crane'). The boulevard is also known for its open air restaurants and pubs, most of which are located on boats and ships moored to the ramp that surrounds the ...

... entrances to the city long ago and marks the beginning of a restored area of buildings and shops. It would have been a very nice place to walk around, shop, look at buildings and get a bite to eat except that it is all outdoors and it was pouring rain. Our guide had a very irritating voice and style of speaking. As soon as we got off the bus we, along with half the bus, ditched her and just walked around
on our own. We found a ...

On Monday, our last day, we had another beautiful sunny day, just like our first, with sun and a packed beach. We stayed on the beach until it clouded over around 3 ish, and then said our goodbyes and headed to Olsztyn. 8 days with practically only ladies, a wife ...

... empties) on the south. This stretch of land goes all the way to Russia, and is connected to land on both sides so I guess it is not a peninsula, but that is what we will call it for arguments sake). The scout camp had about 100 kids, all using a super light house as their main storage area, kitchen and supply of electricity where necessary. Their tents were close enough to the sea that you could constantly hear the sound of the waves ...

... say any words. The unique part of our game was that we did not have the cards. So each person present (there was 8 of us) was forced to write to 20 names. The instructions were that this was someone famous, real or fictional, that at least 3 out of 10 people on the street would know. Specific examples were given as Santa Clause, Lech Walesa (former president of Poland, and Noble peace price winner for work as part of Solidarity and against communism), Jan III ...

... beautifully clean air. There apparently is a microclimate here, and many poles come here for medical reasons to get cured of diseases especially respiratory ones. A couple of unique things stood here from the many other beach resorts we have seen all over the world. Temperature tends to be not too high (not high 30¡¯s or low 40¡¯s) so people set up 3 foot high wind barriers on the beach instead of say beach umbrellas. The second thing, was that ...

... I was concerned, as I knew the train should be going to Krynica but we were now going back. I soon realised that the river was a lot smaller and then we stopped at Powroznik and I knew the next stop was at Krynica. I guess if we had gone straight ahead we would have ended up in Slovakia as a line did go that way from Muszyna. As expected due to it being Sunday the tourist room service place was shut. I had no map so walked down the steps and hoped for the best. On ...

... the place where the toilets let out into the moat. Well it's all-important stuff. I spent 3 hours just wandering. I crossed the river to see it from the other side, fantastic. &n bsp; . I had a pizza, the worst I have ever eaten, very tasteless. I found a supermarket and then headed back to rest. Tired from so much exploring. I think the hostel was empty as I heard no one else just the receptionist.
