Gdansk Poland

Gdansk is the city at the north tip of Poland, and it is the main point of the freedom of the polish people from communism, to the democratic country.

Anyway. A lot of shipyards and industry. Very good communication by planes from the rest of Europe, and a nice place to be.
I will not tell to much about the 3 cities Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia in this mai, I have to comme in om them one by one.

I did not stay at any Hotel here, but my colleague told me that Hansa 'Hotel was good, one of the best one in town (he said) european price, but close to the river, and old town.
In Gdansk I dont want to recomend any restaurants, only the seafood restaurant close to the river in "Dlugi Targ" (old town.) there is many good restaurants, but I was not impressed of the one in Dlugstreet (old town) I would rather find somewere else.
The nice thing about Old town is that, if you are alone one a friday or saturday (summertime), you just walk slowly down the street, and you can hear people from different countries talking (load) especcialy it is easy to spot scandinavian and american people, pecause they talk realy loud. Then you just join the groupe you want to join.

There is a lot of big shopping center's in Gdansk, so you can get almoust anything you want.

Night clubs it is more or less anything you want, but noone that I realy "loved" i liked Absinth close to old town, and a few more, but nothing realy super (I'm starting to get old so exuse me for missing out something)

Szczecin Poland (Stettin)

The polish city Szczecin is located in the north of Poland, in the exit of Odra river. about 2-3 hour drive from Berlin Germany. I have to say that here I saw the most beutiful Girl that I have ever seen (no jokes) The girls in this city is stunning, and they dress like..... fantastic. you think you have seen the most beutiful one, and there commes one who is even more beutiful.



But Anyway.

It is also a big industy city, and with old, and traditional shipping industry. Shipyards, and cranes as long as the eye can see, when you are in that area.

I was at stocznia pomorania, just a few km walking from the city centrum. I have stayed at a few hotels in this city. one was Novotel http://www.novotel.com/gb/hotel-3367-novotel-szczecin/index.shtml Just a few hundred meters from Radisson sas and the shopping center Galaxy. and the other one was Campanile: also just a few hundred meters away. http://www.campanile.com.pl/ Both hotels very new, and nice, in the center of the town. and also with parking and internet in the rooms. (not for free at novotel) and both hotels for a good price. In the area around it is a lot of bars and restaurants, and my favorit bar in Szczecin is Cutty Sark Taverna at Bohaterow Warsawy 111 http://www.cuttysark.pl/ Remember to order the Super Grill Mix.... Fantastic good, and the garlic butter is....... you have to taste. Not to mention the price!!!! the most expensive dish they have (Super grill mix) is 25 zl (8 dollar)
Also the staf here al speaks english, its getting better al over Szczecin.
Another one good restaurant is Colombus, close to the river. but here you have to order table if you want to eat in the night. Night clubs it is full of, but i recomend Rocker club. very nice atmosphere, and easy to come in contact with other people (if you behave)

Szczecin has their own airport (Goleniow) but it is not to many planes comming and going. So I usualy go via Berlin Germany, and I order transport via Atlas transfer http://www.berlinia.eu/ I dont remember the price, but it was not much. They have transport from Berlin to Szczecin al the time.

Every saturday and sunday it is a big market outside of the city. called Gleuda Motorowy (dont know how to write it) This is super if you are looking for cheap stuff, used stuff, propably stolen stuff, copied stuff. you can get most things there, but remember to bargin. the best is to have someone polish speaking with you, cause they dobble the price if you speak english. The best selections you can get in the sunday, then it is most sellers there. Thos was original a car buy/sell place, but it developed to include al kinds of stuff. I realy recomend it if you have the time.

Also here I will update more later
