Biking Through Poland part 1

Hey guys!

This is Malte checking in from the library in Starogard where i found free internet!

We Arrived by ferry to Gdansk Harbour two days ago and were met by sandy beaches and 27 degrees, good times! After we made our way in to town (not far) we got some instant noodles with Borstj flavour and cooked them on our camping kitchen in the middle of suburban gdansk, at a small playground. Some people were staring but some were really nice, asking were we are from and were we are going etc. Anyway, we made contact with our couch surfing host Mykola and met up with him just before we was going to work. He was working as a bartender at a beach bar in Gdynia and invited us to spend the evening there, which sounded awesome. We decided we are just going to check out the old town of Gdansk first, which is semi famous for being old school hansa style trade town-ish and it was. Any way after that time was like 10.00 o clock and we were almost falling asleep over our Gofrys (local treat). So we just went back to Mykolas place to sleep. We didnt get much sleep on the 19 hour ferry ride here so thats probably the reason for our tiredness.

In the morning we made breakfast and chatted with our host. We needed to leave around 10/11 because he was going back to work. We took our bikes to the local shopping galleria and found a bookstore which sold maps. We picked up a1:500 000mapcovering poland for 10zl (around 25SEK) which was a good deal! We needed to visit an internet cafe to analogize our planned google maps trip to the newly bought map and when we were done time was 15.00. We managed to put 60km between Gdansk and us before we had some dinner and found a local youth hostel were we spent the night (double room 60 zl). It was a small village 8-9 km north of Starogard were im writing this. Next time posting i will bring pictures i promise!
