It’s been a while since I updated my site and I have a reason for it: I had a vacation.
My husband and I, together with another couple cruised the Baltic Sea on a Princess Cruises ship. Since it was not our first cruise, the expectations were equal to the experience received: a huge, beautiful, comfortable ship, a lot of food, room and restaurant service, great conversations and time shared with friends, entertainment and excursions ashore.
Since the excursions were really basic and short, hence the descriptions…
We flew from San Francisco to Copenhagen. There we embarked on the Crown Princess Ship and sailed from Copenhagen to Stockholm, then - to Helsinki, St.Petersburg, Tallinn, Gdynia, Oslo and back to Copenhagen.
St Petersburg (Russia) is a big, insanely beautiful and crowded city, full of history, which is present in each building, palace and canal. Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo are nice, with wide streets, full of history and stately buildings, Tallinn is green, clean and inviting and Gdansk, Poland is an excursion to the centuries past with specks of a modern time: absolutely charming, chamber-like city, which envelopes you with a “Stay longer” whisper.
We enjoyed our brief stay (while moving) in that part of Europe.
