After Romania I just liked the idea of hitchhiking again. You travel for free, get some couchsurfing accomodation, see new places and spend not more than living home (depends on the number of beers you're gonna drink). So, having few days off I decided to go to Gdańsk since I haven't been to the (Polish) seaside for some time. I also wanted to make some photos of Gdańsk's shipyard and few other abandoned places.
Getting to Gdańsk, took me about 5,5 hours (it's ~330 km). The last 60 I travelled with a Belarussian TIR driver. Funny guy with a lot of interesting stories to tell. During that 1h I found out that Belarus has for example better roads than Poland. I could've believed him, but then he told me their roads are even better than German ones :) Belarus turned to be a beautiful country, a great place to live. All thanks to their president Aleksandr Lukashenka. I wondered why people go to UK, US and other places while the paradise is so close. I almost thought about moving there, but since "almost" can make a huge difference, as we say in Poland, maybe I'll do it a bit later.
I know Gdańsk quite well so I wasn't interested in sightseeing. When I got there I ate something and went to see the shipyard and make some photos. In the evening I met my host - a girl called Marta. Had really nice time and highly recommend you visiting her. If you like absurd sense of humor and talking about abstract things, you'll like her for sure. Link to Marta's CS profile
Day 2 also about photos, spent it in abandoned factories, railway stations, shipyards and ended visiting Westerplatte, place of a Polish - German battle during the first days of World War II. You can see the pictures visiting a link below or in "Pictures" tab.
Getting back from Gdańsk was a piece of cake. 5 mins of waiting for the first car to Elbląg and then 5 mins to catch a car to Warsaw. I was back in less than 4,5h. Before I came home I went for few beers with my driver who came to Warsaw see AC/DC concert. I'm not the biggest fan of them but when I saw all those people in front of the stage I regretted I haven't bought the tickets. Must've been really great. But well... soon the Big Four is comming. Can't wait!
