Malbork!

Ok, as I've realised that trying to do my blog every day was a silly idea, I'm just going to update whenever I can and each place (give or take) can have a different post. Pictures can go up as and when uploading is possible...

On Monday (12th Feb) I got up early to continue my journey from Gdansk, stopping off first at Malbork, a small town, but home to Marienburg - the largest Gothic castle in Europe, and home to the Teutonic Knights in the 14th Century. This had been one of the main things I'd wanted to see on my trip, so I was really excited.

I was not disappointed. The scale of the place is awesome. "Huge" wouldn't begin to describe it. I spent a good hour wandering around just the grounds by myself (the whole guided tour is 3 hours), and got lost 4 times. "Wow" was all I could say for the rest of the morning. I took loads of pictures, but I've only been able to upload a few so far. Hope it gives a good impression, anyway! It looked really amazing in the snow, as well..I could spend days in this place!
