A few weeks ago my mother finally did the long-planned journey to show her sons (and their respective wives) the place in Gdansk where she lived as a child in WW II, as well as the traces of german cultural history in Gdansk and in the area. My father, recovering from (fully successful) surgery, was still too weak to come, and the date could not be shifted any more.

Besides the historic inner city of Gdansk, or rather what had been rebuilt after the war, we visited the Vistula Spit and the immensely impressive Marienburg castle. See the pictures at smugmug, if you like. (Captions only in German, though.)
