The journey Warsaw to Gdansk was 3.25 hours, and it went by really quickly. At one point I had to pull out my shades because of the angle of the (thank heavens!) sun... but then it clouded back over to white...
The snow in the fields out the windows was definitely deeper than the snow we've experienced in Radom.
And then we almost missed our station in Gdansk, because there were no announcements in our car and only by chance I looked up from my crochet and noticed the Gdansk Glowny sign outside the window. It was a scramble to get off the train with all my shit before it was too late... but, whew!, we've arrived.
There's a 20 minute walk to our AirBNB, using Google maps, into the Old Town area near the water. Some of the streets we walk through are beautiful with old architecture and charm, and the apartment is wonderful and newly refurbished.
We head out into the night (not really, but when the sun goes down at 4:10....) for a quick walk along the water and notice how much construction is going on in this city.
The waterways are iced over, and ducks sit on the ice.
We find a nice craft beer spot (Cathead) and then hit Mandu for pierogi dinner (recommended by the AirBNB host and the bartender at Cathead). Deelish.
Pop into a grocery on the way back and we're in for the night.
