I know you won't forget about the Gdańsk photos though:)
Yes!
Let`s start the friggin 2012 summer holiday series!!!! :):):):)
Actually, we went to the seaside, and Gdańsk was only a part of the trip.
We usually go to rural resorts between Hel Peninsula and £eba, the furthest to the north: Dębki, Karwia, Karwieńskie Błota, Białogóra, Jastrzębia Góra, £eba, Lubiatowo. They are at the open sea, far from harbours and estuaries. Wide, golden sandy beaches and clean water.
This year we went to Dębki. The distance from Krakow to Dębki is about 700 km. It took us 10.5 hours, as usual.
On the way to the seaside we saw:
Oriental houses near £ódź:
Nice towers of old castles
Ugly towers of modern churches
and plants
Monuments to miltary units
Good roads
but some in reconstruction
and unfortunately, most are only express ways, not highways, which makes your trip slow
unless you know how to overtake fast enough. :):):):):)
and then the road is all yours:
Do you know that many Polish plates are in English?:
pawian: Hey, how do you call this hobby of having photos of yourself taken in incredibly high places?
Thanks. Once I saw this picture as decoration at a pizza bar and got immediately fascinated. I couldn`t believe such things were/are possible:
Lunch atop a Skyscraper" B
A work by Sergio Furnari on 6th Avenue, NY NY in 2007.
This work was based on the photograph "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" taken by Charles C Ebbets on 29th September 1936. The subject was a group of of construction workers taking lunch while sitting on an iron girder on the 69th floor of the, under construction, RCA Building.PS1. I suffer from mild acrophobia. Put me on a high platform and I will do everything for you to take me down. :):):):):)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrophobia
Acrophobia (from the Greek: ἄ, ákron , meaning "peak, summit, edge" and , phóbos, "fear") is an extreme or irrational fear of heights. It belongs to a category of specific phobias, called space and motion discomfort that share both similar etiology and options for treatment.PS2. However, when needed, I am able to overcome it.
being a teacher that can only afford Polish holidays.....
i'd probably hand out charity to you as well, at least you may be able to travel outside of Poland then. hi hi hi
Oh my God, are you really so cheap or only pretending?????
With the money spent on our month-plus holidays in various places in Poland we could go to a warm country in the south of Europe for 10 days (Greece, Croatia) or even 3 weeks (Bulgaria, Romania). But what for? Poland has everything what I/we need. The sea, mountains, forests, lakes, historical cities, picturesque landscape. Yes, it is true that the Polish sea is chilly in summer, but we don`t mind. :):):):):)

Of course, by cheap I mean:
3. (Informal) despicable, mean, low, base, vulgar, sordid, contemptible, scurvy, scungy (Austral. & N.Z.) That was a cheap trick to play on anyone.thefreedictionary/cheap
The Polish seaside at last!
If you go to one of tourist resorts between £eba and Hel Peninsula, you will come across wonderful wide sandy beaches. Not even golden, but white. Empty, after you walk 500 meters from the main gate . The sea offers crystal clear water.
The only problem is the weather and the temperature of water- unpredictable despite the summer season. But we have never minded it - big deal!
What can you do at the seaside when the weather is dull?
