By the River of Motlawa..... by Ekaterinburg
Ok, so it's not quite the rivers of Babylon but the banks of the Motlawa are simply teeming with life.In some cities ther is only industry along the rivers, in some others the banks are so high that there is no feeling of connection. But in Gdansk you are close enough to the river to smell it and almost touch it. Up to and beyond the Crane and the Granaries there are interesting buildings and lovely river vistas. You can shop here, have a drink or a meal, go to a museum or simply walk and walk and enjoy the ambience. All the boats moored on the river are attractive but a truly beautiful sght is the Westerplatte sailing up the river. This looks so like a pirate ship I expected to see Johnny Depp swashbuckling around on deck. The photo shows the Westerplatte sailing by the Granary complex, where the maritime museum is situated.
