Travel pictures
This summer good friend Katja and I realized an old dream of driving around the Baltic Sea, all the way along the coast. From Denmark we drove through northern Germany, crossed a river on a small ferry and entered Poland that proved to be a great and pleasant surprise with old towns of Olszyn and Gdansk and the Wolfschanze, Hitler's famed headquarter in the East. We entered Lithuania on small roads and saw old Stalinistic statues in Druskiniai, revisited splendid capital of Vilniusand old capital of Kaunas before rejoining the coast at Klaipeda and ending up at Baltic Beach Party in Liepaja, Latvia. Of course Riga was a must. Later we visited old fortresses and castles on the way up to Estonia and gorgeous, magical capital of Estonia with its complete ring wall and towers. A ferry trip brought us to Helsinki and Vardø in Finland before crossing the Baltic Sea and arriving in Stockholm. In a hot Swedish summer we drove back to Copenhagen after visiting old Danish town of Lund.
