Moris Gdansk

... are quite miffed that we passed without an offering of bread. Several people stride along the shore close to the water with walking poles. Hubby thinks they are cross country skiers practicing. As some of these people are quite old, I am not sure. More power to them. We sit at a café on the beach and have a drink. As the sun goes lower, the breeze picks up and it gets chilly. We choose to walk back ...

... same chocolate. Oh heaven. This morning we headed directly to this café to check it out and to share with my hubby what a wonderful delicious thing this is. <br><br> While the Polish drink is not quite as decadent as that which I had in Croatia, it comes with so many more choices! You could get chocolate with coffee, with raspberries, with whiskey, Contreau, orange ...

... 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&#8217;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 ...

... old prison and torture cells but while the sign outside shows lots of things to see inside, there was no entrance gate or ticket seller.<br><br> As we are walking into the old town on the pedestrian area, a young tourist guide approaches us. She gives tours in an electric car for ½ hour, an hour, or 1 ½ hour which includes going up to an overlook of the city. As I always go UP, it ...

... this many people were willing to risk their lives over a price increase on toilet paper and bread? We know how it is when those items go in short supply at Publix just before a snowstorm but the Poles couldn't even find things on a sunny day from the local commie co-op. <br><br>I remember being in East Germany and the USSR before they fell and seeing absolutely bare shelves with barely a slice of cheese or a load of bread. Here in Poland as anywhere else that was ...

... bakery and Don got an eclair, I got something that tasted like pizza bread with pizza sauce and cheese and they were very good. We checked out the crystal - beautiful, but I have no way to get it home. Poland is famous for its crystal and art glass. After about an hour or so of that we were done with being wet, my hair was soaked because I couldn't keep it inside my hood, my feet were soaked, and I was soaked. We headed back ...

... we spent some time relaxing on the beach anyways. After that we wandered around for a while and found a really busy tourist street before returning to the beach area and having some lunch. My lunch was not bad, but Renata got lured in by the cheeseburger and it turned out the be the "Worst Cheeseburger EVER!". Bun - stale and hard - check. Patty - thinner than MacDonald's and even tougher to tell the origin of the meat ...

... Ferberow Dom House , which was once home to the Ferebrow Family; the Schumannow House and House Uphagena; The Town Hall and Neptune's Fountain. The Artus Court also occupied some time in the Afternoon. As Poland is a Catholic Country, there are an abdunce of Churches. St Mary's is the Most iconic. Built during the 15th Century, it is the largest brick Church in the ...

... at the way I sharply stopped the car, leapt out, and took my photo. After all, the sight is pretty ordinary for them I got to Gdansk late afternoon, and spent the rest of the day and the follwing day "being a tourist". The weather had perked up, and I took a boat trip out to the Westerplatte where the first shots of WWII were fired.

... a corridor down the side of the carriage. Each compartment has large overhead luggage racks too so no problems there. The train to our next destination, Gdansk, north Poland, took about 4 hours or so. The view from the train was really the first we had seen of rural Poland since arriving, Warsaw isn't very green, just concrete! The terrain is very flat and there are lots of small pockets of civilization towns/villages split up with vast green areas, rivers and forests. Arrived on time ...
