Gdańsk

 

Last week on Thursday (15th), my cousin and I went to Gdańsk and Sopot (which together with Gdynia they form an area called 'Tricity'). The beginning didn't look too promising: we travelled on a bus which quite probably remembers Communism so it looked old and was, because of the synthetic throws on the seats, very uncomfortable in the heat. The rest of our trip (with the exception of the return journey) was very successful though. I don't think my cousin had ever been to Gdańsk and she didn't really know Poland outside my town and some villages so I thought it was a good opportunity for her to maybe change her perception of the country and realise that it's not all that boring.

We mostly limited ourselves to touring around the Old Town, along Długa Street which is a very picturesque but also very touristic so it was crowded with visitors from all over Poland and visitors from other countries (from what we heard these were mostly Germany and Scandinavia). We had lovely but a bit overpriced coffee and then I drank an even more overpriced beer.
