Last night we headed up to Gdynia to see what was billed as a fire and ice show. Expecting a few intricate ice sculptures and fire dancers weaving between them, instead we found ourselves observing little more than a wall of people with toddlers on their shoulders.
Perhaps Gdynia council (or whoever arranged the event) were expecting less people – I can’t imagine many of the visitors were impressed by the solitary ice sculpture of a… a… mermaid? a boat? It wasn’t quite clear, but whatever it was, it was far from impressive.
We could see the fire show in progress and joined the throng of people trying to get a view – eventually we found a spot where we could see the performers gearing up for the show. It wasn’t very exciting.
This is what we wanted to see – beautiful sculptures and a bit of drama…
