Hello from the Baltic Sea!




Hi Everyone!
Just a quick blog to let everyone know how we are doing! This is day 3 at sea. Harold and I feel like the youngest couple on the ship. At least we don't have to fight for a treadmill! Last time we saw this many old people, we were in a rest home. hahaha

London was wonderful. The word we have picked up is "sorry" pronounced "sawrie". It's very British! Our hotel was right across the street from Hyde Park. The night we left they were having a Nelson Mandela concert. We heard the bands warming up the day before. We enjoyed seeing double decker buses, red British telephone booths, taxi cabies and many people wearing tuxedos.

We visited The Tower of London, which was very cool because of our love for the show "The Tudors." We cruised the Thames, visited Big Ben, Westminster Abby and The British Museum. We didn't want to leave!

Back to the ship...so far Harold and I have slept until noon every day! Of course with the time change of 9 hours that isn't so impressive. Tomorrow we will be at our first port which is Tallin, Estonia. It looks very quaint. We plan on walking the streets and doing some shopping. "Sorry" we can't upload pictures on the computers. We'll add pics when we get home.

Love and miss you all!
Mom and Dad

Oh my heavens, you have been traveling the world. Your pictures are amazing. It's making me itch to get Hannie and I on cruise. Maybe you should come along and we can make it the "Tornado Triplets" instead of the "Tornado Twins."
