But once we got going, we headed up to a nice breakfast at the wedding venue, and saw a few of the folks we\u2019d spent the evening with. Eventually, we headed into Gda\u0144sk and easily found our hotel for the next two nights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We used our afternoon wisely. We went to the museum of the Baltic and were truly amazed. The museum itself is a great review of Gda\u0144sk\u2019s maritime history, with lots of historic exhibits, models of ships throughout history, and many old artifacts. As a part of the exhibit, we for to tour a freight ship, built here in 1949. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But then we took the water taxi across the Mot\u0142awa River, and had the opportunity to walk up into the iconic Gda\u0144sk Crane. Wow, what a great experience. Originally built in the 1300\u2019s, it was rebuilt in 1444, and is just amazing.
