Finally it was time for all of us to leave the country and get ready for our next semester @ Poland. We left lund in the 14th of june for Kohlstrom, from where we were to board the cruise to gydnia port in Poland. The cruise was a nice experience with consistent up down movements. We were all navigating as if we were drunk :D. For sometime I enjoyed roaming in the top deck, later grabbed a breezer and settled in a livemusic pub watching oldies dance for some rock-n-roll musik. It was fun! Until my eyes refused to be open anymore!
The next day morning , it was Gydnia port! A butiful port I must say with a picturesque seaside and hills adjacent to the sea with thick vegetation.
We dint wait for long until we met Kasha, our coordinator for the Poland fieldtrip. Very energetic and kind person. After a few handshakes, we made our way to the bus with our respective luggages and headed towards the nearby big town – Gdansk! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gda%C5%84sk)
After a ride for 70 mins…we reached the butiful city of Gdansk. Gdansk, boasting of a peaceful and a humble setting just outside the city centre, howwver has a very butiful, ethnic, historical, buzzing, city centre with lots of ancient gates, carved buildings, houses bearing picturesque paintings and a buzzing market place.

The market square, just outside the golden gate and the end of street Dlugi(the L with a slash) targ, which starts from Ulucia Dluga and terminates at the green gate… was filled with tourists, amber jewellery shops, entertainers, students, locals and many other shops. Also has a butilful statue of Neptune called the fountain of Neptune. It was a delight! Since Gdansk also boasted of a seashore, one can see the backwaters of the sea lazily meandering through the city. There are nice city tours arranged in ancient ships…(something that resembles in the movie “pirates of the caribean”)

Gdansk had everything to offer for us!! (would like to share some excerpts about the history and culture of Gdansk which I read in the eyewitness guide of Poland…but may be later). We grabbed some food and coffee and started on a still longer journey to Gizycko via the town of ostroda. After a long bus journey of 6 hrs we reach hotel tajty in Gizycko just beside the lake mamry.
Had a sumptuous typical polish dinner (rather official!!), an initial starter, a vegetable soup, followed by cheese stuffings, salad and finally a tart! After dinner Kasha gave us some introduction abt the whole trip and the places we would be visiting ! after a long journey it was indeed time to call it a day!
The next day few more surprises awaits us!
