My Travel Adventures

As I slowly clambered out of bed this morning, I realised that the weather forecast had been too pessimistic. The skies may have turned a little cloudy from yesterday, but there was no sign of rain, and the sun shone brightly. Nevertheless, when I left my backpack at the reception and set off with my camera and umbrella, I wore a long-sleeved shirt, which I began to regret as the morning lost its freshness. Since I had seen everything I had wanted to see in central Gdańsk, my plan for the morning was to take the tram to Oliwa, visit its park and cathedral, and head back. In the afternoon, I would see a museum or two in Central Gdańsk and then make my way over to the airport for my evening journey to Prague.

My dad says I trust the weather forecast too much, and he may very well be right. Because it is supposed to rain tomorrow, I decided that I would try to see all the items on my list today. The weather was supposed to be sunny and indeed it was – perhaps too much so. Record temperatures are being reported from across Europe, and even as northern a town as Gdańsk started feeling uncomfortably steamy by ten o’clock.
