Why do people think I'm Norwegian - Gdansk

When you mention Gdansk to people who have never been, they probably think of shipyards and nothing else.

Gdansk is actually a very pretty city with loads of historical old buildings that at times look very similar to the old Dutch buildings of Amsterdam.

Oh yeah the shipyard is big !!!!

Places to see

From Gdansk places worth a visit are Westerplatte ( this you can do on a boat that takes you through the shipyard )
You get these boats just at the bottom of the main old street that I am standing on n this picture ( yeah I know it has a name , but can I be bothered to dig it out )

Also train will take you to Sopot which is a seaside resort, or you can go the other way to Malbork and see Malbork castle which is rather special.

Malbork castle

In a refective mood

Malbork is just a short trip on the train from Gdansk and the castle is rather special. Much of it was destroyed after the 2nd WW but it has been rebuilt in a way that you would never know

Pros and Cons

Pros:Good location for other interesting places
Cons:A couple of days will be long enough to see the old bit of Gdansk

Last visit to Gdansk: Dec 2004
