Tallinn, Estonia
Sorry for the delayed response. There hasn't been any internet service for the past couple of days.
We sailed into Tallinn this morningl, June 9, at 9:00 a.m. There are 3 cruise ships in Tallinn today. The P and O Arcadia, Celebrity Constellation and our ship, the Ocean Princess. It was nice to see the Constellation again. We were on it for our first Baltic cruise 6 years ago. It carries 1950 passengers and the Arcadia must have at least 2000 brave souls on it. There are also a number of very large ferries from different Baltic ports in town. Theses ferries come here daily for what people consider cheap shopping. As you can see from the pictures there are a lot of tourists in town. All enjoying the sights and eager to spend money. What a cosmopolitan city. If you listen carefully to the people around you, you hear countless languages being spoken.
Enjoy some photos from our day.
It was good that Flat Stanley was too tired to join us for dinner. Dinner and desert were great but we did have a little excitement when one of the assistant waiters tripped carrying a tray of dinners for a table of eight. The plates landed where Flat Stanley would have sat and who knows what condition he'd be in right now. His dinner attire would certainly be ruined and I don't know if we could have washed, pressed and ironed him ; instead it was Pat that took the brunt of the disaster and the ship offered to clean her shoes and clothes. I'm guessing it would have been a good story to share with Stan's classmates back in Woodstock though!
Off to St. Petersburg for 2 days - June 10 and 11!
