Jun 5 At sea

 Jun 5  At Sea

Another chance to rest up before the next ports!

After yesterday’s tour we slept over 9 hours!  We were exhausted by the time we got back to the ship with all the walking!  I should have cancelled, but the guide said she thought I could do it!!  Her idea of  ‘a short walk’ and mine are very different!!! The punishment to this old body outweighed any sightseeing benefit! 😢

So today we’re taking it easy.  This morning a presentation on Helsinki and Tallin by the destination expert was very interesting. These talks give us an overview of the ports  and parts of the cities we won’t see because we are taking a tour.

This afternoon she covered Sweden’s stops - Stockholm and Visby.  after going to some of these presentations I feel like I’ve been there!  Time for my nap now!

Tonight is the second formal night and we didn’t get kicked out for not being ‘formal’ enough!  Lol   Dinner was great, as usual; to start - vol au vent with shrimp and lobster and Caesar salad for Dorothy, shrimp cocktail and salad for Mary.  For the main course Mary had rainbow trout and Dorothy had lamb chops.  And then came dessert a chocolate concoction for Mary and raspberry lemon slice for Dorothy.

Tonight’s entertainment is Ruslan & Anastasiia and then back to our cabin.  We have a later start tomorrow so we’ve had lots of time to relax after yesterday’s marathon day!

Night! Night!
