Gdańsk

Late morning train after a fab few days in Warsaw. Train was a little late but first class was worth it. We arrived in Gdańsk, which is a gorgeous little town along the Baltic Sea. There is definitely Dutch influence that you can see in the architecture and we were told that they traded through this region. We walked to our flat, which is on Mariaka Street, one on the prettiest streets in town, lined with coffee spots and cute restaurants. There is a huge artisan fair in town until Sunday, so we dropped our bags and went out exploring. Amber is a huge deal here (deposits in the Baltic Sea, historical trading, lots of jewelry amd gifts now). E got some really beautiful butterfly earrings, while the boys chose geodes and obsidian. We ate, saw the famous Neptune statue, and just walked around on a gorgeous night. Back at the flat with music playing outside, movie night inside:)Read more
