Hi the name on the brick indicate the name of the person who donated money to the restoration of that particular place. You were in Krakow you saw it on the Wavel Castle walls.
Hey Hal, how's life in Gdansk these days? Very busy with tourists? Locals? Any disruption due to social distancing? Please tell us more about day to day life in this town. Thanks
Social distancing from what I see - I don’t see any. It’s very busy in the city especially from 12 midday. Still people walk into shops with the mask and they take it off outside. But still plenty of opportunity to be away from everyone which is what I did . I always found cafes which were empty as I avoided the very centre of Gdansk. So no disruption to normal life
Scratching names in wooden objects is basically always vandalism caused by bored kids on school trips, you can also see that in churches and any wooden shelters in the mountains
I was confused - I thought you were on Biskupia Gorka, where my school often day trips , but that's to the South. You are on Gora Gradowa, or "Hail Mountan." Also, this was Hevelianum - interactive science exhibit. Johannes Hevelius, (Latin), German Johann Hewel, or Johann Howelcke, Polish Jan Heweliusz, (born Jan. 28, 1611, Gdańsk, Pol.-died Jan. 28, 1687, Gdańsk), astronomer who compiled an atlas of the Moon (, published 1647) containing one of the earliest detailed maps of its surface as well as names for many of its features. A few of his names for lunar mountains ( the Alps) are still in use, and a lunar crater is named for him. Hevelius also made a catalog of 1,564 stars, the most comprehensive of its time, and a celestial atlas in which several constellations, now accepted, were shown for the first time. After his death, the catalog and the atlas were published together (, 1690) by his wife, Elisabetha, who had collaborated with him in his observations.

@@LifestyleHal How long are you planning on staying in Gdansk? I'm considering spending 1 month over there.
