I very rarely take trips in the Northern part of Europe, and so I thought I would visit this up and coming Silicon Valley of the North right in time with my husband’s business trip. We stayed at a lovely hotel right in front of the canal. We had a gorgeous view from our suite, which I really loved. I was so inspired with the view, I just had to paint it.

We were lucky to have gorgeous weather all throughout our stay. And so we took the opportunity to see the Baltic Sea as well for a day trip to Sopot Beach. I was not a fan of it. The shores were a bit polluted with black alga, which did not smell very nice. But I totally loved the relaxed vibe, and so we just chilled under the big white umbrellas in one of the bars lining the beach. I totally appreciated it. It seems like the people there are concerned about having too much sunburn, unlike what I am used to here in France. They don’t care much for shade around here.

Anyway, back in Gdansk, we had awesome food, lots of strolling around the city center. I loved the charming architecture. And I find it awesome how they managed to rebuild the city after taking the worst of WW2.

Here’s a short travel video from our trip. Hope you enjoy it.
