The bigger plan for the second day in Gdansk was to make our way up to Gdynia and Sopot, but that was going to be an afternoon thing when the weather cleared up a bit. That left me some time in the morning to spin around the area surrounding our Airbnb and also do a quick loop through part of the center. Our apartment was at the Kowalska 6 pin you see in the screenshot above. The whole loop depicted took about 45 minutes to cover 1.4km according to Google Maps. Not a ton of narrative here. Mostly vibe shots. But all of this was around 10am on a Monday and it was pretty calm.
This next place,
Loveat, looked good. About 2 minutes from our apartment. But when we travel our morning schedules don't really align unless it's a transit day, so we don't often eat breakfast out. Google tells me there are a handful of Loveat locations in Gdansk, and all have pretty solid reviews.
We were also quite close to this
neighborhood mall. Judy checked it out solo when I went off to visit Malbork Castle (post upcoming). She was not impressed. But it looks nice and I imagine it's convenient for the locals.
Bit more wandering with no particular aim other than to see what was around ...
After about 20 minutes in the area around the Airbnb I headed toward the water and started making my way to downtown. This scooter hotspot is quite close to the
Hilton. We didn't actually scoot in Gdansk proper, but made up for it with some good rides in Gdynia and Sopot.
More vibe shots. Just an attractive city center to wander around. Especially when it's quiet.
Happy with my meanderings I stopped in a bakery (pretty sure it was
this one, with mediocre reviews). They were nice enough to me. Got a couple loaves of bread and one of those Polish pastry tacos you see in the top of the third pic below (probably not the official name ... looks like the tray is labeled 'Nalesnik', which translates to crepe ... maybe?). Whatever it was, really tasty. Subtle flavors. We enjoyed it, would recommend.
