Sorry about that whole blank post thing. Friday, 8:50am – At Sea We have had very rough seas since we left Copenhagen yesterday around 4pm. If you walk along one side of the ship there is water on the windows, but on the other side it is dry. It is not rain, it is water [...]

Cruisers 12 – Copenhagen, Still

June 28, 2007

Thursday, 12:30pm We woke up just a little after 6 and saw that our boat was still docked and went back to sleep. If the ship had been moving we would have begun thinking about getting up since we had a tour scheduled in Helsingborg. There would be no tour for us. So, here we [...]

Cruisers 9 – White Nights

June 25, 2007

The nights here are very cool. Instead of calling the 21st the longest day of the year they called it the shortest night of the year. I don’t see that there was any night at all. We were up playing karaoke so I stepped out at midnight and took a picture of the sunset. It [...]

Cruisers 7 – Helsinki, Finland

June 21, 2007

We did not have a tour planned for Helsinski so we decided to just take a shuttle into the city and look around. It was raining when we got up so we were a little worried, but as soon as we got off the shuttle the sun came out and it was beautiful again. We [...]
