Hel Peninsula

Country: Poland
from: penpal

Hel Peninsula, Poland is the place where you can find clean, sandy beaches, Baltic Sea, fishermen, and a perfect spot for summer holidays. I used to go there from time to time as well.

Posted in Puck (a town in Kashubia, Poland). The place got its town rights in 1348.

Alvor, Portugal

Country: Portugal
from: penpal 

I was surprised when I got the postcard, surprised that the pen-pal was able to travel to Portugal in the times of COVID. Later, I learned that she had managed to go there (no virus in that area then) and come back home in November 2020, a few days before it became impossible, and the border was closed. Good, that she could enjoy her holidays and did not get grounded there.

 

 

Alvor is a seaside place and a fishing village in the very South of Portugal.

Władysławowo, Poland

Country: Poland
from: penpal

 

A very pleasant place by the open-sea, with sandy beaches, usually crowded in the summer. You could buy there fresh fish straight from a fisherman's boat.
