Kevin and Moya's 6-month ADVENTURE !!!

We arrived in Dover on a wet morning and caught a taxi to Dover Centre to catch our bus to London to find the bus stop was just that, a bus stop on the main street. The taxi driver directed us to a cafe over the road where we had a coffee and waited. Moya’s […]

There is only one day to go on our cruise and we are sailing down the North Sea, dodging oil rigs, towards Dover which we will reach early Wednesday 8th. We know we are in the North Sea, as the seas are over 4 metres high, while the Baltic had nary a ripple. In fact […]

This time the city really is a long way from the port as we docked in Nynäshamn, south of Stockholm. The ship moored in the bay and we were tendered in. We took the shuttle into Stockholm which took 50 mins along a four lane motorway most of the way. Even we couldn’t walk that! […]

Another port – we were told that the town was about a good hours walk from the ship. We walked it and it didn’t take us that long. We enjoyed the city. It is quite compact and has a vibrant market in an old market building. There is also another square, Senate Square, which boasts […]

We had an overnight here and luckily we chose to attend a Russian Ballet that night as during the day it rained and those who went on sightseeing tours got drenched. In Russia to get ashore you need a visa and you must travel with a recognised travel agency, we were told. Certainly you couldn’t […]

After a day’s sailing we arrived in Tallinn. We were told the town was at least a 20 minute walk away and uphill. It turned out it was about 5 minutes away and just a slight rise. A good thing we ignored the advice and did our own thing. Tallinn, the Capital of Estonia, was […]

We had been told that Wernemunde was only a port and nothing special so we should catch the train to Rostock which we did. This is a lovely town north of Wernemunde, and we spent a couple of hours exploring before we returned to Wernemunde. Wernemunde may be just a port but it is a […]

After a day at sea we arrived in Copenhagen. As the ship berthed close to the city we walked in. Actually nothing is that simple for us. On the way we sat at a bench to look at the map and move on. About 5 mins later Kevin realised he had left his sunglasses and […]

This trip deserves special mention!! Moya, the Organised One, booked our taxi to take us to the Station early in the week for Friday at 8.30am which would enable us to get the underground and walk to the bus station in ample time for the 10.30am departure. Friday dawned wet and of course the taxi […]
