According to the BBC weather report, it's supposed to be -15 to -20 in Gdansk. I must say I'm rather disappointed. I thought it would feel much colder. The city looks amazing with the old towers, spires and Burgher mansions. Part of the canal is frozen over which allows for a nice short cut to the other peninsular passing the ice fishermen and frozen boats.
We went to Westerplatte yesterday where the opening shots of World War II were fired. Today we went to the Solidarity museum and the gates of the Ship yards where the famous strikes occurred in 1980. Two pivotal moments in history. We also went to an Amber museum so Thora could see pretty things. I have to start saving for an Amber table.
Tomorrow we travel to Malbork to see Europes largest gothic castle which housed the Crusading order, the Teutonic Knights.

P.S Danzig was the old German name for Gdansk.
