We arrived at dawn in Gdansk and the street was thick fog. A little resembled the city, but the fog is not scattered, and pictures stubbornly out. So have to show that there is.
1Gdansk — sea capital of Poland and one of the largest ports on the Baltic Sea. Along with Gdynia and Sopot, they form the Tricity agglomeration. The local architecture is not very different from what we have seen in Wroclaw and Poznan. Is that called the Long Market Square Market.
Green target. Now they are not green, but once were, so got its name. In Gdansk there is still the Golden Gate, High Gate, Thieves target (together they form the Royal Route) and gate-valve (Crane). All gates can be written to attractions, Crane and so do the symbols.
In one of the rooms of the Green Gate is the office of Lech Walesa, the founder of “Solidarity,” in Eastern Europe first independent trade union. He is known as the man who defeated communism, even if only in Poland but also good.
2Almost half days a year in Gdansk drop some precipitation. Therefore, even in winter at zero temperature snow.

One of the reasons why we came to Gdansk was the sea, we wanted to see the Baltic. Formally, we have fulfilled the goal, but the inner perfectionist continued to whine “It’s not Baltika, this Gdansk Bay, you have not seen a real Baltic.” Then we decided to fatalities — go to where there are elements where the bay is a real sea. We walk on Helmovu braid, more real to her land, in a place called gel.
In the summer there can distatisya by ferry and train in winter. The fare is 20 PLN and to do transplants in Gdynia. Read more here http://www.e-podroznik.pl/.
9That looks like a railway station of the town Gel. What is missing is radisnohoyu inscription “Welcome to…” in front.
10The main street of hell does not. Certainly not here in the summer of sinners tread tourists. Why are we all zaladyly about hell? Well, just the English hell — hell, it seemed to us something is very happy, because we thought that if hel — almost hell, because one l missing.
11Although, really, in one version, the name of the city comes from the Norwegian goddess Gel — daughter of Loki and Anґrbody, the goddess of the underworld Helheym (it’s cold, dark and foggy place to get all the victims except the characters). It seems self-evident, but still strange name for the city.
Water… Almost Baltic Sea, this Gdansk Bay. On a clear day the horizon bovaniye Gdynia and Gdansk.
12
The town itself is quite good, there is a resort perspective, many shops and cafes. In winter, with no tourists here quite inexpensive. We recommend you try something with fish dishes, local cooks understand this. A size Polish portions will not leave you indifferent.
14
If we come, be sure to visit the nursery Baltic seals Fokarium ( http://www.fokarium.pl/ ). Stock up coins for 5 PLN (just as is entrance) because no offices in the nursery and coins need for turnstiles at the entrance. If no coins, they can try to barter on the spot in a special machine.

Whatever you threw into the sea — enters the stomach to fish and fish in your stomach, that such circulation.
30Incidentally, it is forbidden to throw food and other things in the pool with seals. They say that one died when eaten seal 600 coins thrown by tourists in memory.
Well do not throw something that sympatyazi?
31A feeding. For tourists — is the most interesting event in the schedule seal the day, so keep an eye on the schedule, usually only two feedings a day. Miss and 5 zloty — the wind.
32
Sometimes cunning staff kennel changing places tablets, thereby causing panic and confusion in the seals.
34It seems that today everything went smoothly. Ate, and now you can sleep. Conventional seals, and sea though.
