... sea shells although there are precious little offerings in this area. A few families have their children stripped to the diapers and the young toddlers play in the sand and want to get buried like big brother. There are sailboats on the horizon and an occasional wind surfer but not a lot of wind today so they are moving quite slowly through the waves. An eyrar of swans guard the shore in one area ...

... 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 ...

... from the table behind us. We wave and wave. Finally we stand up and wave and then the waiter comes. We repeat the process to pay our bill. Why do I think that if we stood up and just started to walk away that we would be very visible?<br><br> Sitting in the plane next to the window. The flight attendant approaches with the snack and drink cart. She asks the two ladies ...

... 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 ...

... shopping center off the Old Town. The displays of things like bottled water, bread, fruit, etc just had them just so enamored that one of them yelled out, "Helen, they have peanut butter and jelly just like back home." Helen yelled back, "Look, they have Coke products, too!!!" Wow...imagine that Helen. Time to go find your leader holding up a cardboard 64 on a stick. And I think your buddy is lost at the Road to Freedom Museum. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

... improving day. Despite the suns arrival, the Viking Boat's day hadn't got any better at all, it appeared that it had crashed into something causing the large dragons head mast to end up halfway through the roof of the boat. We never did find out what had happened to the boat, whether the driver had been hitting back the Vodkas or someone had it in for the Vikings that day. Gdansk is a compact town and we did at least half of it in an hour and half wandering past attractive ...

... voices, and sounds. We were treated to <br>a short musical performance and it was very impressive. They played "Ave Maria" and something from Phantom of the Opera, and another one I didn't recognize. Quite beautiful. I visited the little store they had there and bought a hand-made angel that made me think of my mom and all her collection of angels. Then we traveled to the "Green Gate", which isn't even green. It was one of ...

... than it tastes. Finished our stroll with shopping for amber. Nancy wanted to stop off at the American hotdog stand on our way back to the hotel but we were too full. People near by are watching the socer game, we can hear them cheer. Talk with you soon.

... and relax on the beach to while away their sunny holidays. They have a pier but there's nothing on it except wooden benches which i found kind of odd yet refereshing after the bling bling touristy piers in England. Did one other day trip, this time to Malbork Castle which is apparently the biggest gothic castle in Europe. Lonely Planet tells me that it was the capital of the Grand Master of Teutonic Knights in 1309 ...

... humoured person from Toscana and yesterday joined the party company also another guy from HC: Robert from Leipzig... We really had 2 nice days drinking and partying, with Basia and Giampaolo playing guitars and singing, amazing! Now is raining and tonight is the night: David is going to play!
