 | | A popular stop for cruise ships is the port of Gdynia, a stepping-stone to the old port city of Gdansk where we had only a day to visit, walk the cobblestone streets and squares, past the 14th and 15th century buildings with their elaborate facades. |
 | | We all marveled at Gothic St. Mary's Basilica with spires that reach for the heavens, finding it hard to believe that it was half-destroyed in the Second World War, and having been rebuilt with all original materials. |
 | | Gdynia is now Poland's Baltic seaport, the biggest in the area, and the one where cruise ships dock. |
