With Amberif having come and gone the excitement of the Amber expo is gone but the charisma and allure of the town in which this event took place remains.
I myself come from the southern part of Poland, the only mountainous region of the country with the beauty of the Tatry as a backdrop, but Gdansk and the Baltic coast maintain an appeal that can't be denied.
Having visited there just a few years ago, and let me warn you that winter is not the best time to visit, I find myself a bit nostalgic of the cobble stone streets, the historic buildings and the multitude of incredible amber jewelry and trinket shops along the famous ulica Dluga or Long Street. You will be hard pressed to find a more impressive selection of beautifully handcrafted amber and sterling silver jewelry amongst a beautiful city full of history and culture.
The Amber Museum which is incorporated into the Gdansk history museum offers an impressive display of rough uncut amber pieces allowing you to muse on the process which turns them into beautiful polished jewels.
