GDANSK, JUNE 2011

During the first week-end of June, with my wife we went again to Gdansk, to visit our son living there.
It takes 1650 km, 15 hours, to go there by car, but it's not difficult.
There were two nice days, sunny and hot.
Saturday we toured a hilly region west of Gdansk, "Kashubska", with lakes and forests; at evening, we went to Gdansk historical center, and we had dinner in a typical restaurant with a microbrewery.
On sunday, we went to the Baltic Sea coast, at Leba, a crowded sea resort. I didn't think that early June there could be so many people at the sea such north!
When returning home on monday, we made a short detour after Nurnberg, stopping at Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a very nice medioeval village in the Svevian hills.
