[Wikimania-l] Airport Pickup

Mon Jul 5 16:31:03 UTC 2010

Can anyone provide a rough estimate of how many PLNs I can expect to spend
per day in Gdansk, assuming no shopping, i.e. just transportation fares and
meals.  I can always withdraw more, but I'd like to have the rough sum ready
in advance.

Thanks,

   Asaf
