I've been to Gdansk before, when I was backpacking round Europe in 91.
It was a nice city and it is high time I returned, I doubt if
accommodation will be difficult to find, I stayed in a nice cheap B&B
then and suspect that things have become more touristy since.
If Wikimania still occurs I will be there, if not I'm sure those of us
who are in town can find a way to meet up, and there are places nearby
that I have not yet visited.
