The Adventure Continues

It’s 8:30 p.m. on Thursday evening on August 28. Since my last post we’ve spent two days at sea and visited three ports. Our first port was Copenhagen, Denmark. We took a canal cruise and walking tour around the city. Our tour included the site of the famous “Little Mermaid” statue.

Our next stop was Warnemϋnde, Germany. From Warnemϋnde we traveled to Guestrow where we visited a Renaissance castle and had lunch at a country farm house. After lunch we shopped along the pier.

Today we spent the day in Stockholm, Sweden. We toured the medieval “Old Town” and the Vasa Museum. At the Vasa, we saw the restored 17^th century warship that sank in Stockholm’s inner harbor in 1628.

Tomorrow we will be in Helsinki, Finland and after that St. Petersburg, Russia. Check back for more photos.

It’s tomorrow when I’m finally getting this posted at 7:50 a.m. on the 29^th (it’s 5:50 p.m. on the 28^th your time). We could not get on the Internet last night.

Visiting Baltic Capitols

Today’s blog is for the students at Monterey Park School who are checking in to see pictures of England and the Baltic capitols that I am visiting. We left Phoenix at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 21 and traveled to Washington D.C. From Washington we traveled to London, England. We arrived at 6:00 a.m. on Friday morning London time. (Can you figure out how many hours it took for us to get to London?)

On Friday we toured Buckingham Palace and the Queen’s garden that is pictured above along with “Big Ben. On Saturday we traveled by bus through London--where we saw “Big Ben” and other famous sites—on our way to Dover. We sailed from Dover.

Today we were at sea and tomorrow we will visit Copenhagen. Watch the blog for pictures of Copenhagen.
