Elbląg, Poland, August 2013
George went to Elbląg in Poland with Vibeke and Julie. |
| Elbląg is a medieval town and the focal point of the old part of the city is the St. Nicholas Cathedral, a 13th-century Gothic church, that was established in circa 1247, the church became Lutheran in 1573. It was damaged by fire in the late 18th century and suffered damage during the World War II. It was elevated to the status of cathedral in 1992. |
 |
| The centre of Elbląg has cobbled streets and a lot of medieval buildings. |
 |
| The centre piece is an old tram. Obviously George had to check it out. The history of the trams in Elbląg goes all the way back to 1895. Currently there are 5 lines with a total length of 32 km, and 74 trams. |
 |
| George went inside to get a closer look. |
 |
| There are quite a few statues in the city. |
 |
Parts of the old city wall can still be seen and in this photo George is watched by Julie.
