Gdanks 2, the funny inofficial part

So here are some funny incidents about our little journey. First, we couldn't get into the dorms because ( as we now know) there are no visitors allowed after 11 pm, thus Fran can't have people sleep over at his place. Since we didn't have anywhere else to go the only possibility was the window. Unfortunately his room is on the first floor....(see picture for a better idea ). Our ultimate technique was to stand on the window sill off the lower window (there's a student's pup and we were later a little concerned that they would notice us), climb up the grill and then grap a scarf that was hung out the window. The Fran would grap one ahnd and pull us up. Man, that was some action!
As you might remember, I made a promise about the Baltic Sea. And yes I really did it although it was very very cold.

So much for Gdansk. On our way home though, we saw Malbork (and got there without problems, it was a bit off our way from Gdansk to Lodz) and we made it back to Tczew (where we were supposed to take the train to Lodz). Unfortunately we somehow ( i realle don't know why (-: ) got on the wrong train and were told by the controller after 2 hours that our ticket was not valid because we were simply going the wrong direction. So we got off the following stop, what was in Olsztyn (to prove it, there's the picture).
Well well well, we had to get back to Elblong then to Malbork and Tczew...took us 5 hours for 240 Km extra journey through Poland. But I really ahve to praise the controller, cause the first one did not chareg us anything despite us not having a valid ticket and the second one looked up a connection for us to get home to Lodz as soon as possible. Fortunately our little extra tour was not a big financial expense, only about 4 Euro for each one of us. Don't I love PKP?! According to the "master plan" of the conducter we were supposed to change trains 4 times and get to Lodz by 7 am in the morning.( We left from Tczew from around 4,15 pm and we were originally supposed to arrive in Lodz at 10 pm). But surprise surprise, waiting in Tczew for our next train, there was an announcement thata train to Krakow and Lodz would arrive in 10 minutes. So we after all we had a direct connection that got us home at least by 3,15 am. IN the train it was freezing though, somehow they didn't have the heaters working.
Of course we missed the night bus in Lodz but we just had to wait for half an hour and I finally arrived at my appartment at 4,14 am. And the same morning I rose and shone at 9 am casue I had to help at my organization with prepearing things for a conference . ( I was well off, the other two girls had to get up at 7 to go to kindergarten).
The whole thing was a lot of fun and I don't regret anything! Poland is great!
