Getting around

This is more a travelling and planing blog so if you are looking for my daily life, you’ll have to look somewhere else :)

Copernicus and more water

Torun is a very nice town in northern Poland. It has very fine buildings and lots of places to have a beer. Also Copernicus was born here.Copernikus

The Torun people are proud to have a leaning tower. I haven’t been to Pisa so I can’t compare but this is quite cool.

As we walked through the town an other thunder storm hit us. I could only find this umbrella.

It is a sculpture of a left alone dog. Reminds me of the contractor worker in the street outside Berzeli Park in Stockholm.

Instead we went in to a restaurant – quite a fancy one. But the waiter was new. He didn’t know anything about the menu and we had to improvise in order to get anything.

It was very nice but I think that the waiter had a night he will not forget. Anything than can go wrong did! He forgot to let me taste the wine, he forgot Kim’s coffee, I got pieces of glass in my whiskey and I did get something else than I ordered. But we didn’t felt bad treated at all. The waiter was very friendly and the food was nice so we left satisfied.

One strange thing happened at the end. As Kim eventually got his coffee he also got a small glass with a clear fluid. Yeah right we both said, a vodka to compensate all the troubles. But it was plain water, and it was warm. We asked and the waiter said – “to swallow down the coffee”. Strange restaurant that was indeed.

Btw, did I say that 5 cl Jameson costs 30 kr here? 😀
