Gdansk

Ok so the idiot on the phone talked until around 2:15
I shushed her at about 2:10.
I couldn't believe the stupidity and totally disregard for the other 9 people trying sleep.

Got up at 11 and showered. We really do need to buy a second towel lol

We went to the Hard Rock Cafe for brunch. In our map of the city was a voucher that said I got a free souvenir if we spent enough.
It meant in the actual shop not the cafe :(

We went back home because I had forgotten my pills and we stayed there until our tour at 3:30.

We thought we were gonna be late so we rushed to the meeting spot and found the yellow umbrella.
We started walking an I soon realized we were on the wrong tour lol. We wanted the general tour but this was the solidarity one.
Still we hung around for a bit.
The first stop was under a city gate/arch - inside were large photos of the street after WW2. It was completely destroyed. I liked being able to compare and see the change.
Our next stop was around the corner at the back of the buildings. This was to show that only the front facades were rebuilt and the back are much more modern looking.

Next was Shakespeare's theatre and their CIA/MI6 equivalent building.

Will was looking bored so I said I was happy to leave the tour. Our guide wasn't all that engaging and did a funny head nod thing.
He was a cute little old guy though.

We walked through why felt like a fair and I got a $1. Slushy - it was shit so I chucked it lol.

We went home for Will to poop then walked back out again.

I love love love the detailing in the buildings. Some have painted pictures, some sculptures and some just cool colours combos.

We walked past Hercules fountain.

The amount of street performers is starting to get annoying. You can't walk 20 meters without a group of people blocking the way because they are watching something.
This is by far the busiest city we have been to!

We walked through streets and streets and streets full of markets selling the most random things! It's would be a pickers dream!

Some things were so large we wondered how they packed up every night lol 🤔

We walked past, then decided to enter st Mary's basilica - the stain glass was so bold and beautiful.

We walked up the river and past the medieval crane there - Gdansk is a very old port.

Will wanted a drink so we found shop to sit in.
They didn't have good food so we went looking for somewhere that sold dumplings for Will.

We ended up with Thai and I had fried rice for $3 that hit the spot
It was a fancier place than we expected and I felt like a dick in my hiking boots and shorts.

We're home and I'm reading my book. Hopefully the idiot doesn't talk on the phone again.

I think I Forgot to mention that last night I got stuck in the toilet at 1am for 10 minutes and it was really stressful lol.

For the record we have also seen the green gate and golden gate.Baca lagi
