• Gdansk day 3 shopping

    May 13 in Poland ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Well, a leisurely stroll through old Gdansk town today, looking for Pączki (pronounced poonch-kee) which are Polish donuts typically flavoured with rose. I’d practiced my whole conversation in Polish for my encounter at the traditional polish bakers in the shopping mall and it all went very well which much smiles at the encounter..,., but with 2 fresh Paczki in the bag I was happy.
    The forum shopping mall was massive and has a canal running through the middle of it so it feels a little bit outdoorsy.
    Anyway another milk bar type polish lunch with Kompet which is a cheap stewed fruit cold drink made from plum, cloudberry and angerberry which Jacqueline is really liking.
    Pork Schnitzel, cabbage, beetroot and placki ziemniaczane (potato pancakes) which was
    Cheap and good. In this style of milk bar they simply weigh your plate at the end of the self service and you pay for what you heaped on your plate!!! Also had sour rye soup too, not as good as other soups I’ve had, but still decent.
    Afternoon at hotel spa Which was nice to chill with Mrs G. Oh yeah and she found a bookstore!!!’
    Evening was a beer on the river at a food hall
    And some pizza and a wee walk home.
    Nice chilled day
