Hello, what a beautiful day. On a first morning in Gdansk, here's the view from our apartment.
Later, we'll be going to the city centre, so come and join us.
How about that car?
Huh?
Well, I presume...
Oh, is there? Well...
Ah, there's another one. It's open.
Oh, right. Well, we could check in that one.
Yeah.
At least we don't have to go there deliberately.
Hmm. Although it's only a door or two down.
All around the city, scuffling and plastic coverings indicate that old crumbling buildings are being brought back to life.
Hmm. They've got bao buns.
Yes.
I think that's more like a Japanese restaurant than Chinese.
Ah, I think so, yes.
Filipino?
Yes.
She said yes, but he didn't stop.
Just like that one in Bohol?
Hmm. Yeah, but I think the difference is this one probably fits more in.
Oh, is it?
Yeah, I think so.
That one down there, it's like an aquatic car, amphibious car.
That one?
Yeah, the yellow one.
Oh, that one on the left.
Yeah.
It's so taxi.
It does.
And that building, the highest building in the distance there, that's the one they got the picture of on their living room wall.
Which one is that? That one on the left?
The lift, you know, they used for...
A funny shaped building?
Yeah. I can't remember what they called it. It's a famous landmark.
In front of that, where people are walking across now, that's the bridge that was being renovated one week ago.
Okay.
Which can be lifted to let boats through.
The one that Daga was saying that it's not been lifted for a while now.
Yeah, and her father sent a picture of it.
Oh, so he's turning now.
Yeah.
He's going to take pictures.
I just realized that I still got the camera on.
I've got the camera on. I thought I switched off.
Oh.
Yeah. It's always busy here, isn't it? Even wintertime.
Yeah.
I want to go that side.
That's the one where you can go up and climb all the way up to the top.
Yeah.
I don't know how many steps to go up.
I don't know. They say it's quite tiring.
Have they tried going up there?
I don't know.
They've been up there.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
How do you feel?
I'd better do it just this side so that he won't see us.
What's this over there?
Are they demonstrating or something?
I'm not sure. It's only a statue.
Oh, okay. It's to do with Russia.
Oh, is it?
And Belarus.
Oh, right. Yeah.
Statue.
And this fountain.
It's the aquatic god, isn't it?
Let's go there.
Oh, it's turning sunny now.
It is.
And it's so humid, don't you think?
Yeah. That's what I said.
It would be, even if it wasn't raining.
By the time we get there, it will come back to normal.
Let's go that side, man.
I guess I won't be too self-conscious taking video
because there's quite a lot of people taking pictures.
Neptune.
That one there?
No, this one. Neptune is standing there.
That's where I met?
Yeah.
It's not going to. I thought it did.
I thought it's every hour, right?
Yeah. Maybe that just now was...
Earlier.
...was instead.
Yeah.
It was a few minutes to two, but maybe it doesn't actually start.
Are we going to carry on going there?
We'd still want to.
I guess.
Well, we're here now. Might as well.
Oh, it's nicer here. It's cooler.
Yeah.
Maybe we can have some ice cream.
Oh, what's this one here?
You've got money, haven't you?
Yeah, I've got it here.
No, I prefer this plain one. The ordinary one.
Those toppings there.
But it's a queue, though.
It's not like this in London.
What, the tourist?
Yeah, there's so many tourists.
I don't think he'll notice me taking videos.
There's another one here.
It's nicer when there's cool air.
Oh, is that what he said?
He's covering his face.
Like he's saying, naughty, naughty.
Ah, yeah, maybe.
Don't forget, we've got some in the freezer.
That's not ours, though.
Well, I presume they've left it.
Yeah, you presume. We don't know.
Ah, look at this.
Quickly.
They're not, aren't they?
So maybe it is the battery playing up.
Yeah, because earlier it just switched off itself.
Is it three o'clock now?
Probably past two.
That's weird time, isn't it?
Don't ask me.
Don't make me chase you.
