Today we got on the shuttle bus and headed to the train station in Gdansk. We visited Sopot today, which is a beautiful resort town about 25 minutes north of Gdansk. As we have journeyed for the past 60 or so days, we have found that train stations are a great place to get frustrated. You know where you want to go, but you have to know so much more. You need to know how to buy a ticket, which line in the train station is for the type of train you want to take...

We have arrived in our last port. We have mixed emotions for sure.

We arrived in the city and there was a fabulou...

Yesterday we caught a bus to the city center and we revisited the Thailand Festival for lunch with a professor from the ship John Casteen. The prices are so good for lunch that we couldn't pass it up and the company was great too. We also had some Thai ice cream that was pretty rockin'! After lunch we walked to the Nobel Museum. One of the Interport Lecturers on our ship i...
