Sunday May 8
Gdynia has to be the ugliest port! We are parked right in front of green cranes and piles of coal. Yuk! However..... We were greeted by a high school band and majorettes bearing red and white pom-poms. How fun was that! Red and white are the colours of the polish flag.
It's a beautiful sunny and warm day here! At least 22C.
We again chose to go off on our own rather than take the Gdansk walking tour. It really was a nice R & R day. We took the shuttle to Gdynia's main square. We walked along a beautiful park with a wide promenade with shops and pubs on both sides, tall ships, pleasure boats and more. We walked all the way to the huge beach. Lots of people everywhere. Geocaching took us to a nicely treed area with a lovely view of the beach activity below and a residential area.
When we returned to the park, we stopped at one of the pubs for a beer. Would you believe....it cost only $2.10 Canadian for a 500 ml bottle! What a contrast to what we have been paying in other ports!
Tomorrow is our last full "at sea" day. There are only 4 ports left. On one hand, feeling sad for leaving the ship and the amazing crew members. On the other hand, feeling happy for them because they are soon moving on to new positions and the new Viking ships.
