In Gdansk

Yay! Finally made it to Poland. Long wait in Munich airport then a short flight to Gdansk.

Flying in to Gdansk the region is typical european and looks quite similar to Denmark last year. Lots of fields for crops with patches of forest in between. I was lucky enough to sit next to mayor of Gydnia on the plane and he gave be a bit of info about the citys. The 3 cities have population of about 1million all together. And Gydnia is 50% forest which makes it nice for living. You can easily go in the forests after work etc, perfect. I found the bus to the main Gdansk station. We drove about 40min through suburbs with huge housing blocks and through some really open forest areas. Looks super open just like those photos we have seen. Didnt really believe it until I got here. Cant wait to run in it. Smooth rolling gullys and only leaf litter on the ground. Already identified what would be green, leafy srubs like in Denmark. Should be ok to run through just make sure to keep direction as lower vis.

From the station it was about 15min walk to Hostel Zappio. The buildings are really old and some amazing carvings and paintings. Also neat park areas in between. Amazing location for the hostel. Next door to a very old church, so much so that it is on a lean in one end! The hostel is a tall skinny building with spiral staircase and 5 levels! 50m from river and 200m from the Old Street where all the historic builings and archways are.

Went for a short 35min run through the town along the river, people fishing. Good quick way to see the place (-: on the other side of train tracks I found a patch on forested road to run up which was nice. Not so open here but it was nice. Good to run again after such long time travelling.

Tried traditional bogart? and potatoes for dinner in a cafe on the street with rugs for you to keep warm. Reasonable temp for shorts this morning but wasnt very warm in evening and very windy in places.

Off to find a train to Wejherowo (said Veherovo). Hopefully its not too hard. It is difficult in shops because I cant really communicate. Some places speak a little English but not much. Yay will be great to get to Wejherowo now.
