As much as it's nice to experience new things with loved ones, I also think one is free to do things when one wants, go where one wants etc, without worrying about what the others want to do .

    It's Bazylika Mariacka - St.Mary Basilica or Church. According to Wikipedia one of 4 largest brick churches in Europe and World (bigger is only 1 in Bologna and 2 the same size in Munich and Ulm). There is also sightseeing tower (smaller) in Gdańsk Town Hall (old Town Hall changed in city museum) at Long Street - Ulica Długa/Długi Targ. If you want to see how Gdańsk looked like in 1959 watch old movie: Do widzenia do jutra.

    Solo travel is where you find yourself Charles. You have to engage with people. And make friends. I did it for 20 years and I’m so glad I did. And some friends I’ve lost, some are Facebook friends but a few friends are still friends I will call to talk to. Even if the language barrier is a challenge. Looking forward to day two.

    I have travelled on my own in 2011 flew from Melbourne to Hong Kong for quick stop over then from Hong Kong to Heathrow. I then met up for my tour at the Contiki Lounge to sign to my tour. Had a fun day exploring a bit of London. Next day met up with the tour bus to bus it to Germany. The next 5 days I camped and did Oktoberfest. Best thing I had ever done. I have also solo trip to Sydney and New Zealand. Travel is the best thing to get out of you comfort zone.

    Hey Charlie, Great vlog! I'm so glad you go out to Gdansk and had a look around. It reminded me of a time a spent in Switzerland and Germany in 2013. You are so lucky to live so close to Europe, where you can 'pop' over and get to those countries so much easier than I can. I really hope You (and Rob) can get to do this more often, vlogging on the way to show me around a little. I'm assuming it's full on winter there now? Or is it cold all year round? The wet spell has finally broken here in Sydney and we are currently on our 16th straight day of sunshine (I think that's correct), whoo hoo! So good to have escaped La Niña. Where will you go to next travel jaunt? What is next on your bucket list and will Rob go too? Cheers and stay safe.
