June 3, 2002 - Sopot

Sopat is a small town not far from Gdansk.  Dorota and I took a ferry there across the Gdansk Bay and spent the day wandering through forested paths, taking in the sights, and generally just relaxing.

A beuatiful forested path along the sea

This was a very quaint little restaurant designed to look like a mountain cabin. Dorota and I stopped here to have some authentic Polish drinks and snacks.
