Boat to Hel and back

We took a small cruise boat from Gdansk to the Hel Peninsula of Poland.




Ronnie & Evelyn on the boat






Not our boat





In this picture you can see a red lighthouse and some military gray buildings. We thought we could find this lighthouse to take a tour, but it eluded us.


I found this picture of it on the internet.

Poland is known for it's amber from the Baltic Sea, a lot of it is made into jewelry that they sell all over the country. We combed the beach for amber pieces while we were there, but they say after a storm is the best time to find amber, so we didn't have much luck since the weather was fairly nice.


But we did find these.





There were guns on the beach left from WWII








Storm's brewing




Beautiful sunset on our way back to Gdansk
