Willa Pera Gdynia

... to spend time walking along it and sitting on the benches and taking in some sun. it’s just a lovely pier. There is a side pier that is gone and only the pilings are left. Cormorants and seagulls and mallard ducks make this their resting place as they dry their wings and contemplate feathers before jumping in the water again for another snack of fish. A few brave men jump in the water and ...

... 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.

... Usually you can get a taster, several of their beers in small glasses. The bartender does not see us. I walk to the other end of the bar. Neither one of us is seen. Hubby waves his arms and finally attracts notice and gets his beer.

Hotel bar and café. You can sit and use the internet. There are menus where you can get small snacks or expensive wines and beers ...

... gave us information that we had not had yesterday and showed us some new areas that we had missed. It was a good little tour.

She had told us a good place to eat baked potatoes too. We headed for that. On the way though we passed the Uphagen House which has furniture from the period when it was a viable house. It was open so we ducked into it and got a free ride with our tourist ...

... away from the main railway station, and stretches between the main road of Gdańsk and the river Motława. The most central point of the Old Town is a pedestrian precinct called Długi Targ (literally: 'a long market'). Here you can find a multitude of quite rare houses that surround a statue of Neptune. A few picturesque cobbled streets lead to the river, and should you follow any of them you'll find ...

... and just saw them from the bus or stopped just long enough to get off, snap a shot and get back on. We sat in the front of the bus and the window kept leaking on me so I was soaked before we even started. We stopped at the Oliwa Cathedral, built in the 13th century and on the grounds of an old monastery. It has a huge organ and two smaller ones, consisting of 7,876 tin and wood pipes which can imitate the sounds of different musical ...

... hell, I can tell them I have already been and it's actually quite nice. I could have taken a ferry directly from Gdansk but I decided to check out a small town just north of Gdansk called Gdynia, which is part of the tri-city area with Gdansk and a city called Sopot. Not a lot o see in Gdynia but it has a nice waterfront. In Gdansk the city centre is a distance from the waterfront but a river and canals are nearby. Gdansk is more of a shipyard city, not ...

... and practiced their English while I practiced speaking - very funny for them. Teacher came and they ran off leaving me slumped up a wall. Teacher went, kids came back, next owner and mother came up and told us to go to bed so with the kids taking the micky, I managed to find my key and went to bed. I felt Madziks role in this boozy week can be shown by the messages she left me...excuse the Polish I feel really bad now I sleepy and maybe drunk a little. So when ...

... The next day we awoke from the best sleep ever cause of the exhaustion of the previous day and it was a refreshing thing to have an American sized bed and down comforter. We took a boat ride on the Vistula River, which is the river that opens feeds interior Poland and connects to the Baltic Sea. The weather was chilly but sunny. The cruise was amazing. What baffled me was that we briefly stopped on Westerplate, which was Poland, and consequently the rest of the world ...

... a little on the murky side. The Polish version of Melbourne's 'Four Seasons In One Day' continues, as I managed to sneak in a good thirty minutes basking in the sun on a small jetty, before the heavens opened and I scattered into a cafe for an espresso. Mmmmm Espresso.... Europe does offer some of the finer things in travel life, which Asia can not match. I may not be able to get a decent Pad Thai or Massamun Chicken here, but I sure as hell didn't manage to get anything other than ...
