POLAND
Crowded train from Warsaw
to Gdańsk. This carriage was for bikes
People slept everywhere,
even between carriages
We arrived in Gdańsk in the
morning
Neptune Fountain in Gdańsk
Gdańsk
Cable ferry "Świbno" took
us to Sobieszewska Island
After passing Jantar we
found a
marked trail leading to Krynica
Beach near Sztutowo. Forest
roads were often sandy and difficult for cycling
The beach was empty. We
camped in the forest because of strong winds
Next day we wanted to avoid
sandy roads...
...and we decided to cycle
along this endless beach
In Kąty Rybackie we bought
4 fish from the fishermen
We passed Krynica and
Piaski, cycling towards Russian border
That's as far as we could
go. Here I proposed to Ela! :-)
This is where Poland ends
Cycling back to Piaski
We camped on this sand dune
with the Baltic Sea view
Vistula Lagoon

Cycling along the beach

This viper tried to bite when I was
taking photos
It was a good swimmer. I didn't know what it was at the time
