Poland



Marta sent me the upper gorgeous postcard showing doors of Gdańsk, a Polish city on the Baltic coast (southern edge of Gdańsk Bay). Gdańsk is Poland's principal seaport, the center of the country's fourth-largest metropolitan area and an important industrial center. 

Most tourist attractions are located along or near Ulica Długa ("Long Street") and Długi Targ ("Long Market"), a pedestrian thoroughfare surrounded by buildings reconstructed in historical (primarily during the 17th century) style and flanked at both ends by elaborate city gates. This part of the city is sometimes referred to as the Royal Road, since it was once the former path of processions for visiting kings.

The anteater stamp is simply adorable ;) Thanks, Marta!
