Gdansk, Poland

A flight from Sweden to Poland on Ryanair brought me to the beautiful coastal city of Gdansk. Situated on a river mouth flowing into the Baltic sea, Gdansk is on of Poland's oldest cities. The city itself was established around 800 a.d., however the Nazis leveled the city in the second World War. This is fortunate since the new Main square is all sparkling clean. A royal walk along the river peering through large brick and golden royal gates was surely a beautiful activity before climbing the 600 or so odd steps to the top of St. Mary's Cathedral to gaze down at the city from a bird's eye's perspective. At night a nice Polish dinner of gotbki and potatoes was just what I needed before myself and some Aussies headed to absinthe bar where dancing on tables and bars ensued. Chatting up a hot blonde Polish girl, which by the way seem to love me, was a nice end to a wild night. The next day, after sleeping in, I departed for the city of Poznan, the cradle of Polish history, about four hours to the south east.
