Oh Marlyn, it’s written: better to be overdressed than underdressed for the walking tour ~ informed Irina. Allright, I put on double layer in everything: socks + pants + clothes. We spent 3 hours walking on -6 degree, many people gone in the middle of the tour, had to take a break in a Cafe to buy some drinks or use the bathroom because at some point I wasn’t gonna make it.
While Irina was on the cashier line, I was on the toilet line, it was only one, we had to squezze, behind me was a guy name Roberto ~ at that time I didn’t know his name yet. Switch position with Irina, I heard her speaking Spanish to…. Roberto! Then I came with our chocolate + rum drink “oh it’s you again!” he also really needed the break for the same reason ~ he wasn’t going to make it. Not long after, his boyfriend called all of us to come out as the tour has to be continued.
We were enduring for the last one and a half hour of cold Gdansk. Ended up in a restaurant, I had my calamari rice whereas they were only drinking tea. We were talking about what was our plan, turns out we have similar one, we wanted to go to Sopot the next day so we all went together 🙂
Roberto asked “are we going to rely everything on my boyfriend or we do actually have a concrete plan”
Oh I’m happily chose the first.
Zibi is Polish so we do not have to think about which train, platform, when to get off #Pampered.
Behind the Sopot sign was a church, don’t know if its opened. Roberto mentioned “it’s the house of Lord, you can always come anytime”. He was correct, three of us entered the church, Iri said “cute” + Roberto “Wow” + me “guys, there is a coffin, I think we need to get out”. It’s all make sense now on the type of car parked outside of it. We were so cancelled, Zibi next time informed us so we didn’t crashed someone’s funeral!
Off to go to the famous Sopot bridge where Zibi kept sliding as if he was on the ice rink, we went quite far like almost reached the end until our stomach called us, we need to act up. He found a very good restaurant.
Roberto ordered Zupa la Zupa, can’t remember which type, it was the one with bread, very delicious. Then main courses came, the waiter want to take the Zupa, NO! We are still eating it. I like my food, just not the potatoes. In the end I was very happy we still have the bread from the Zupa.
They went back to Gdansk while we went to Gydnia. You can fell the Communisim in this city is still pretty strong, it didn’t take us long time, let’s cut it, went back to gathered with them again haha.
Zibi bought Roberto an Amber pendant from Sopot and Roberto bought a necklace to which he doesn’t need the pendant. Iri said “give it to Marlyn, she will take any free item” yessss! Now I have your supposedly pendant 😉
Zibi managed to book the very fancy + always full restaurant, even my drink came in a Glass cage with smokes. Irina’s friend introduced a very cool bar, it took us some efforts to find it but it was worthy!
We met on our last day in Poland for Pierogi dinner. Me & Iri went the previous day for soury taste, so happy we could try their sweet taste too. Closing the night with Glühwein right next to it #Literally, I shouldn’t have placed back all my accessories haha.
This evening, I found out Zibi’s ability to sleep through the entire flight without using the bathroom so he never know how does a toilet on airplane looks like. Irina dragged Roberto to listen to “She’s on the money” Yaaiisss!! We need rich friends! 😀
Believe in the magic of survival skill, from “we were not gonna make it, our toes gonna have frosbite, to we did made it! “
I hope to see you again, read: come to EU please XOXO
