Following a period of immense anticipation and excitement the GREAT Routemaster London Doubledecker adorned in red and a HERITAGE is GREAT destination board, fresh from its Grand Prix winning weekend in Budapest chugs into the historical, Hanseatic trading city of Gdańsk.
GREAT to see – weather superb and a GREAT location on the rynek. Well Targ Węglowy to be precise – the apron to the main high street down to the river bank in Gdansk’s old city, so rich in trading history – could there be a better place to focus on the fundamental roots of trade and investment; up in the ranks of Hamburg, Bremen, Luebeck and Elbląg. What a GREAT place to start our tour of Hel.
Pronounce with a hard GD, this city is the birthplace of current Poland. The cranes in the famous shipyards; Lech Wałęsa’s office on the rynek and a bustling determination and ambition, testaments to growth and wanting to make things happen.
We had a GREAT afternoon. You couldn’t miss us – 1 GREAT Bus, 2 GREAT Minis, 4 GREAT tents – English is GREAT for the kids – GREAT healthy apples – GREAT balloons and some GREAT Culture kindly provided by Shakespeare.
This weekend sees the start of Gdańsk’s annual Shakespeare festival. Shakespeare on the bus – yes, we had our own very special Shakespeare company performing around the bus. Well done guys – not the easiest stage in the world. Your did us proud.
The kids loved the bus – we had a number of GREAT British tourists and many, many Polish ones wanting to know more about the UK. Lots of compliments and good wishes for the Royal Baby George!
Only one word for all that – GREAT
Gdańsk is one of 3 cities on our 5 day tour to Hel – yes, we’re going to Hel and that’s not rude. followTHEBUS. This is gonna be a GREAT weekend full of excitement and lots of GREAT Britishness as we go on tour on Poland’s seaside riviera.
