Cruising the Baltic Sea

Hello all! Well, I have finally decided to start a blog! This was I can keep all you up-to-date on my travels and not keep telling the same story over and over! I hope you enjoy it!

I am heading out on Saturday to cruise on the Crystal Symphony. We start in Copenhagen Denmark, then travel to Warnemunde Germany, Gdynia Poland, Helsinki Finland and St Petersburg Russia! I am so excited for this trip as I have never been to any of these countries. Well, I was in Germany once, but that was for Oktoberfest so that was a whole different ball game!

While I am so looking forward to Russia, I simply can not wait to go to the ice bar in Copenhagen! It is an entire bar (the actual building) make out of solid ice. Even the glasses from which you sip your vodka are made of ice! They apparently give you a coat and gloves to wear when enetering as it is -5 degrees in there!

Anyway, this is the start - I will try to write often from the ship. Have a great Aug!

When you go to the ice bar find out how many people call out sick a week. How often do they catch a cold?
