Finally an updae worth mentioning! I have been in Poland over new years and am planning to describe the three different elements of the trip. The start phase, the middle phase and it’s ending phase. In this first part am I going to describe the start phase which is the initial part of a trip and also the phase the other two phases can use as their foundation. The start phase in this trip started like most trips with a movement. Many claims that a movement is en essential part of the start phase even thoughone can think of trips without movement like mind trips or amotional trips. But this trip had an movement which consisted of me and Anders (who was my travel companion during all three phases) taking a plane to Gdansk.

After arriving with the plane to Gdansk and after arriving at the hostel where we lived we had a pizza with that much garlic that the pizza almost was green.

After the pizza we found a pub that seemed nice and I asked some at a table if we could sit there though I could see those seats was taken. But we were invited anyway and started to talk with them. On this photo is from left: A bartender, Anders, Artem ( a russian who have a Brother in Hammarkullen, Göteborg), an other bartender, me, Ola who is a Pole together with Artem and who studies Swedish in Gdansk. Artem and Olan invited us on a guided tour the following day (they were the guides)!

This is Kreml High where we first thought we were going to stay since my gps had an error at the hous numbering. But we lived one block away where there was a very nice and fresh hostel.

Then we were on the tour with Artem and Ola. On this photo there is an island with some ruins from the second world war.

This is Artem and Ola:

This is a gate to the harbor in Gdansk (to the right in the photo) where there was some demonstration and where some people was killed which kind of was the start of the fall of the kommunism in eastern Europe. In the middle there is some kind of monument of it all.

Then we went to Sopot which is just next to Gdansk.

This is what Andes was taking a photo of in the last photo.

A buildning with a souna or something. It came out smoke some now and then…

There was a pier in Sopot where we went out.

Then we went to Gdynia which also is right next to Gdansk but it was ugly so I don’t have any good photos of it to show. And night we went to bass. I have no good photos of that either.

The next day we went to Westerplatte which is some kind of military place where the second world war begun.

This was the end of the start phase of the trip. Because thereafter it was the middle phase of this trip and ‘ll write about it after I’ve eaten…
