We strayed away from the coast to delve slightly deeper into Poland to a town called Malbork where we took a three hour in-depth (free) tour of the Castle. We saw a couple of buildings in town centre which were designed by Karolina's dad - apparently he designed half of the town's major buildings!
Gothic architecture
High Castle's courtyard with some kind of well or machinery in the middle (Karolina didn't translate the tour that well!)
The summer hall with loads of south facing window
Detail on the door
Fresco detailing the stories of the Teutonic Knights.
I can't remember what this hall is but it sure was nice. (Im was too hungry then to find out)
The main gate into the Castle
When we got back, I cooked supper for Karolina's family. Amazingly we found all the 'exotic' ingredients in Gdynia, even Kaffir lime leaves! So I cooked ayam masak merah and as I was warned by Karolina made it less spicy but as it turned out it was super poisonous!
