Yesterday we spent the day enjoying the stalls and beverages
again. If you every come to visit this
town we would highly recommend coming during the festival. We had a late start, so we missed breakfast
service. Sadly this meant Vicki had to
have Chateaubriand (basically a steak with béarnaise sauce) for brunch...so
painful (NOT). We ate down by the river
where there was some great people watching.
Afterwards we checked out the Gdansk crane more
closely. It is basically two giant
wheels that were turned by people walking inside of them to wind the rope and lift
up to 2000 kg. The crane was used to
load ships in the 1600’s. It is a very
impressive design.
We spent a little time drinking beer and shanty’s while
watching the bungie jumpers. A few
people chickened out (we didn’t even consider it) but lots jumped. Seemed to be safe enough during the actual
jump, but it took a long time to lower the people down afterwards, so they hung
upside down in the air for a long time.
That part didn’t seem like too much fun for the participants. Spanish tapas for dinner (well, some were a
little more French then Spanish, but still OK) and ice cream treats rounded out
the day.
There has been lots of walking the last few days, mainly on
cobblestone streets so we are both feeling a little more fit. Colin has been taping his ankle which seems
to be helping a lot with the pain. Today
will be a little lazy since we check out of the hotel at 3pm and fly to Krakow
later tonight. In fact Colin is napping
right now! We are looking forward to a
new town and meeting up with Daen tomorrow.
