Russian around the Baltic with some spice to finish off!

[Pushka]

Hope you are both fully recovered now. Thanks for the TR - nice seeing some familiar sites combined with lots of new ones.

Thankyou and yes. All good. Just jet lag that sees me dropping into a dead sleep in a lounge chair then lying awake in bed.

Lovely to read along. Luckily no jet lag for me just a bit weary from an overnight flight in Y :shock:. Is MrP back at work this week? Hope he isn't suffering too much. I have now caught up on the washing and ironing from our trip
Planning for the next one.

Where to? I'm not in the right frame of mind to plan much - although there is a birthday Bali week in early November booked ages ago. Just 8 days. Luxury Escapes deal and I don't think we'll move out of the resort.

My bag arrived this morning. I hate unpacking so the delay suited me. Everything intact. I actually did some bookwork yesterday and will work on it tomorrow. And yes back to work and travel for MrP. Busy times. He seems much better now but hasn't been to gym so much.

Good to hear luggage has arrived - hate it when that happens. Glad MrP is feeing better; food poisoning is horrid. You needed reminding like we were (note the last sentence but apologies it's not very clear - it reads "Please take care of the poisoning from eating"!)


Where to? Sapporo for the Ice Festival in February (moved from over Christmas so we can visit the festival).

Thank you so much for the wonderful TR. Very much enjoyed reading about your travels.

Looks like you arrived in CMB 2 hours after I left last Sunday!

I don't generally suffer from jetlag but I had a pretty shocking week this last week after returning from Sri Lanka. I flew CMB-SIN in UL J, then QF J to BNE (similar to what you did). I slept on the flight to BNE and thought I would get away with avoiding jetlag, but it wasn't to be... I was waking up after lunch for a few days there.

Lovely trip report as usual - thank-you

Very enjoyable TR - think SL is on my list somewhere

Thanks

Thanks Pushka, I gleaned a lot from the Baltic leg ahead of our similar cruise next June. I noted your comment about the marathon spoiling the view of the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, and leave you with this one taken on the evening of the 8th April this year as we returned on foot from dinner to our hotel near the place square.

We just stayed in Colombo this time but Kandy and the Tea country is a must. Also it's just a quick flight to the Maldives.

Just had a thought, perhaps you should change the title to "with some spice and food poisoning to finish off"

Yes. That's rather ironic isn't it!

A quick refresh and our plan was to jump onto a tube and head to Westminster Bridge. Arrived into Euston Station and it was chaos. Apparently there was an 'incident' and while tubes were arriving into Euston none were allowed to leave. So people had to pile in but there was nowhere for them to go. Police were stopping people from existing. We couldn't get in - not that there was any point in doing so.

That seems a tad harsh!

Was that the auto-correct again P? Or have you become an anarchist when I wasn't looking?

The older I get the more I hate rules. So that's a tentative - maybe? I find using the iPhone the words ending on the screen are not what I'm typing in. I think the keyboard has changed slightly?

It certainly has. As I get older, it gets smaller.
