06-27: Gdansk, Poland. This is the 99th country I have been to! A trip into town was the plan, the ship provides a free shuttle. They have heat warnings so we don’t plan to do too much. I was hoping to find perogies to taste. That is a sort of dumpling, small, and filled with various things. The charming outdoor café didn’t have them. We didn’t really want to walk further, so we opted for pizza. It was good and we had a couple of cold beverages to go with it. I had my first alcohol free sparkling wine, it wasn’t bad. We were thinking about taking the historical car tour in town, but no one was around to rent from. We will plan that next time since we make all the same ports stops on our way back. We were spent after waiting in the blistering sun for the shuttle, with very limited AC. The first stop was a big cold beverage on our return to the ship. We played one game of Phase 10 then it was to the cabin for a rest for me, and computer work for Stuart. A couple changes have been made to his presentations and he needs to adjust to that. After showers it was time for dinner. There was a Perogi station tonight on the Aquavit Terrace. There were 4 types of filling. One was a bit better than the others because the dough was not as thick. It was fun to try them. The Aquavit Terrace on Viking Ocean Cruises is a signature indoor/outdoor space located on Deck 7, directly aft of the World Café. It offers the most al fresco dining at sea, acting as an extension of the buffet where you can enjoy meals with panoramic ocean views. Tonight was a Beatles Tribute done by the cast. The music was great. Tonight we turn our clock forward an hour, making us 10 hours ahead of home time. Tomorrow is our 1st and only sea day on this 1st of 2 cruises.
