Two quiet days in Sopot

November 10th, 2022

Visiting with Mike, walking around, laundry and in general getting ready for the next leg of my trip which will be a Viking cruise–Prague to Berlin.

So, here are a few miscellaneous pictures from the last two days and one of me I forgot to post from Kirkenes.

Taken from the end of the wooden pier today–looking towards Sopot center, Zdrojowy Square. I’ve been trying to walk the pier every day that I am in Sopot. Legend has it that the air on pier has medicinal qualities.
They say that the concentration of iodine, in the air, at the tip of the pier is twice as high as on land.
And something about amber fragments. The iodine and amber are supposed to help us.

Sopot’s version of the Lobster House. On the wooden pier.

Taken off the end of the wooden pier today. Complete with swan.

Not many boats left in the wooden pier marina.

Cooking dinner for Mike–cod and roasted broccoli. With some gingerbread from Torun for dessert.

Billy’s American Restaurant in Sopot square. I have seen a few of these restaurants during my travels. I think they are only in northern Poland and specialize in American cuisine and our preparations. Of the three Billy’s I have seen, all have pictures of iconic Americans on the outside of the restaurants. Poland is fairly catholic, not sure if all our Americans pictured are. Thinking I should try Billy’s before I leave.

Last evening on our Hurtigruten expedition; dinner in Kirkenes, Norway with Karen. I know it’s a dumb expression.
I am not the most photogenic.
