Last Friday I took one more day to start my holidays (thank you Piotrek) to travel north, to city of my friends – Gdynia. I had to go on Friday, as I’m creature of night and have problems with waking in the early morning – plus travel from Wrocław to Gdynia by train long lasts five and half hour. I wanted to be fresh on tournament in Warhammer Fantasy Battle in Rumia next day. Those tournaments were making me tired twenty years ago, so now it cannot be better. I was there for three days and it was great travel. I can recommed Gdynia for everyone – it’s great Polish city and one of the youngest.
Bed & Breakfast Żeglarz – really nice place in Witomino. Witomino, district for live – east to centre of Gdynia. There so many green areas, not like in my belowed Wrocław. There were events in the city – running, biking and probably something else. No runner was catched by my camera. Sport school with mural. Modernistic church and it tower. Aww, model stopped me. One of the main streets. My Bretonnians have the same liveries as Gdynia’s buses and trolleybuses. Older building – remember that Gdynia is really new Polish city and has city rights from 10 February 1926, before Gdynia was village. Polish 2nd Republic had access to sea, but without harbor – Gdańsk was free city, but generally it was German. Some modernistic and older buldings. I love those city, it’s infrastructure. HQ of Polish Navy. I guess that this is dedicated to our Bałtyk Sea. Everything we can do on the sea – there are trading aspects, fishing – don’t remember all. Biggest sacrifice and spilled blood will become a living testimony to the existence at the Polish seaside. 20.09.1939 admiral Józef Unrug. Modern building next to the harbor. John Paul IInd was here. Polish submarine Orzeł – still his fate is uknown to us. Destroyer „ORP Błyskawica”. Dar Pomorza – ship museum. I guess it can be a way to meet Svetlana in Baltijsk – Russian city, still need to think about VISA to Russia. Some touristic vessel stylized probably on a warship from XVI/XVII century. Another monument in the harbor. Entrance to the harbor. City beach in Gdynia. Destroyer Błyskawica – for many years museum. Dar Pomorza’s model. Burza, Błyskawica, Grom, Wicher – Polish 2nd republic destroyers. Most of them were evacuated to Great Britain. Wicher fought valiantly during German invasion and was sunk near Hel on 3rd of Semptember 1939. Błyskawica (Lighting bolt). Magic gate to better world. Cafe Strych – fisherman hut. Thank you Paweł for showing this place. We had great afterparty here – with ppl from Three Cities and Warsowia. And the pub inside it called Cafe Strych. They have crafts in great prize of 12,50 PLN. It was build around 1890 – near coastline. Now coastline is far away from hut. Going to the hotel. Day later – Gdańsk Główny, where I meet friends who traveled on bikes all Polish coast . Looks like part of fortifications from past.
Great photos. 🙂
