Oliwa Cathedral organ is the show piece of the church. So when we read that there was going to be a recital at 10 am this morning we decided to hang around and attend, which we surely did. The organ is known for it's fine tones and mechanised angels that blow trumpets and ring bells as the organ is playing. The concert was well attended and the appreciated by the large audience. A much better performance than the recital we attended in Warsaw.
The last two days has been a bit hectic and so today we set a less ambitious agenda - shopping!
We did however, call in at Sopot, a very touristy and summer holiday destination for the Poles. We felt a bit sorry for the holiday makers as the weather was turning a little sour - cool, misty rain and generally not very pleasant for beach going. We did, though, check out the Baltic sandy beach before retreating back to the van.
Later we visited Gdynia, the home of the Polish tall ship that visited Tassie during the Bi-centennial celebrations back in 1988. At Gdynia there were hundreds of holiday makers being driven indoors by the misty rain - many hardy souls kept battling the elements though!
We later drove into the village of Bozepole Wielkie for our overnight stop.
Extras:
