Railway Dog

First stop in Gdansk was a delicious vegan restaurant, Avocado. In Poland many eateries do not allow dogs inside, but wherever I go the vegan places are nearly always dog friendly.

Gdansk is beautiful and very pedestrian and cycle friendly (as with everywhere I went in Poland). The port city got hammered when it was the first in Poland to be attacked in WW2, but has been well renovated. There are still ruins in places, which gives a moody historic edge. Renovations continue everywhere.

For a lovely outdoor day, Baspie dog and I caught a train, complete with 3zl dog ticket from a machine, to Sopot, a local station just to the NW of Gdansk. We walked to and through the seaside parks of Sopot. Dogs aren’t allowed along much of the beach there, but the parks are great. Heading NW you continue on to some raised cliffs, covered in deciduous woods, mainly beech.

Around there, you can get to the start of the section of beach that dogs are allowed on (signs make it clear), where Railway Dog went nuts with delight. We then climbed up onto another set of wooded cliffs.

At Gdynia I treated myself to one of the most formidably good meals ever. The modern vegan sushi restaurant of Enoki is tucked away in a posh suburb. So worth a detour!

We caught a regular local train back to Gdansk, buying another dog ticket from the machine.
