Today was also a special market day and there was plenty of food stands around old town. Halfway through the dinner this inflatable beer bottle fell into the door opening of the restaurant. Momo-chan was quite intrigued and wanted to push it out but was not fast enough and two men came and removed it.

Rainy day in Gdansk
