And me and Mrs TC will be heading to Dover to board the Carnival Legend for 12 nights of comfort and luxury as we head up to Finland, Russia, Denmark and Estonia.

It is better to arrive 30 seconds late in this world than 30 years early in the next

Well after 12 days of luxury cruising the Baltic, now back home But what an experience and something I want to do again.
This has been about my 10th cruise, and the best yet
My perception of Russia (or at least St Petersburg) has turned 180 degrees. Vibrant, colourful, friendly people, and the history? No mention made of the communist era, Estonia is a pretty country, and the little Mermaid in Copenhagen was the biggest disappointment. I thought it would be much bigger than it actually is.
Best of all, temperature never fell below 25 degrees, and the Bridge in Denmark is an interesting experience as is the lock to allow the large ships to sail into Amsterdam.
All I have to do now is gear up in readiness for a return to work on Tuesday and start planning and saving for the next trip which at the moment is looking like either the eastern Med (Croatia) or the Norwegian Fjords.

St Petersburg is one of my favourite places ever been twice last year hopefully going again next year still haven't seen it all in 3 weeks there
Croatia is brilliant too food is like Italian stuff but cooked properly and not smelling like its rancid we went on a couple of sailing holidays tiger as novices would recommend it to anyone

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
