Another month, another cruise...

Estonia and Tallinn was our next port and I’ve already described this in an earlier blog so won’t waste any more words on it except to say it was as charming as ever.

From Tallinn we should have gone to Gothenburg in Sweden, but again we had to miss out as the ship developed a fault in one of the turbos so in order to get back to Southampton in time we had to steam directly there.
I was to have met another business friend and was going to lend him my large collection of Beatle material which I had carefully packed up but of course that was not possible and I have to bring it all back home.

More extra work for me in the form of another lecture and all too soon we were back where we started, saying goodbye to the many new friends we had met on the trip. Due to the vast amounts of excellent food and too many cream teas on the ship we will both have to diet now to get back to our normal weights.

As we were in the area we stayed in Dorset for a couple of days to meet other friends from previous cruises and drove home on Saturday August 1st. Again it rained nearly all the way but by now we were used to it, after all it’s Summer time isn’t it.

No more travel blogs for a while as I have decided to have my other knee replaced in August so that will put a stop to cruising until the new year.
