31. August - Day 1 in Gdansk

Pubblicato: 01.09.2021

There are people who think that I'm a pretty okay guy. If that's the case, it might also have something to do with my Polish ancestors.

I like the Poles, at least for now. They are friendly and funny, but not overly enthusiastic. And they visibly appreciate it when a tourist tries to speak a few words of Polish.

This is my first longer visit to a country where a Slavic language is spoken. It's really difficult for me to learn a few words for everyday life. There are a lot of 'Eh' and 'SH' sounds in Polish. A written 'E' is almost always pronounced as 'Eh.' For example, there is a equivalent of the Bavarian 'Servus' that can be used for greeting and farewell: 'Cześć'. Simplified, it is pronounced as 'chehshch'. Dude!

Tomorrow we will go back to Gdansk, then there will be more photos, because the weather will be better.


Six days our home

The campsite is located in a pine forest behind the dune to the beach of the Gdansk Bay. When it rained, the pavement was practical. Today we are moving to a nicer part.


Selfie on the beach

You can guess how windy it was by looking at Katja's hood. We soon went back to the campsite.

For the Baltic Sea, that's already a pretty decent swell.


Good beer

A beer at noon; after all, we are on vacation.
