My web site for Baltics and St Petersburg
Hi all,
Every now and then I pop in to mention my web site about our cruise to the Baltics - it has photos and details which might be of use to some of you. I got so much help from this newsgroup t the time I like to throw a bit back every now and then. Anyway ... it took so long to write it someone may as well read it! 8*) The address is http://members.optusnet.com.au/~boblorel/index.htm Hope someone finds something of value ..... I'm currently getting ready for cruise number 2 to Egypt, Greece and beyond !! 8*) regards, Bob T. |

Hi, Bob,
Your website is very nice, and you took some wonderful shots. I love how you put together the Catherine Palace picture--very neat. Your collection brings back many happy memories of our Baltics trip last summer. Enjoy your trip to Egypt, Greece and beyond! Like Annie, we are big fans of that part of the world. I don't like to repeat travels because there is so much I haven't seen. But I sure would like to break my rule and repeat Egypt and the Greek isles. Make sure you point us to your pix from that trip when you return so I can at least make a virtual return. Diana Ball near Houston, TX |

Bob ,
Great job ! I've spent an hour at your site ( and I should have stopped as I am expected to be someplace else right now !). I do have one question: on this page: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~bobl...hotographs.htm , where it that photo taken ? I thought it was Geiranger, but since you were still on the ship it can't be. I was on the Marco Polo for ~14 days last summer from Copenhagen to Berlin, so did a lot of the same trip. But you have MUCH better pictures. ( Now I REALLY have to go) Thanks, Bobb "Bob T" wrote in message ...

Yup ... it is Geiranger. If you look closely you can see the tenders from the ship moving around it. We took one of them into the port and walked up the hill to take the photo from up higher. The ship was moored in the middle because it can't tie up at the pier. I was on the Marco Polo for ~14 days last summer from Copenhagen to Berlin, so did a lot of the same trip. But you have MUCH better pictures. ( Now I REALLY have to go) I'm a bit of a photo freak (some would leave "photo" out of that sentence.) This was my first digital trip so I took lots of pictures - the more you take the better your chances of getting good ones! My main incentive for travel is to take the photos, and my wife's main purpose is to absorb the facts - so together we come home with the whole lot. Glad you enjoyed the web site. Bob T. |

I read on the Cities page that you didn't get off the ship in Geiranger, so thought it was another stop. I didn't want to get back on the tenders - a lot of us would have liked to spend more time there. One thing I discovered while asho there are only 200 residents in the town and they support ... all of those visiting ships - I found that amazing ! Bobb |

That's probably a slight ambiguity on that page because the headings are adjacent to some writing which doesn't relate to the heading. The writing says "Hellesylt in Norway is not shown, although it appears on the list of ports for this cruise. The reason for this is that it is a point of disembarkation for those taking an excursion via bus on shore. We did not take this tour but remained onboard, picking up the bus crowd at Geiranger" When the boat stops at Geiranger those who didn't take the bus tour just get off and wander around. One thing I discovered while asho there are only 200 residents in the town and they support ... all of those visiting ships - I found that amazing ! I always find it interesting when you turn up at any of these little places - the fact that to us it's something novel and quaint and picturesque - but to someone else it's there home and livelihood. As I type this, someone is waiting patiently for the next boat to come, to see the next boatload of wide-eyed tourists. It's a bit like here ...I collect our grandkids from the kindergarten and often there are these wide-eyed pommie tourists gawking at the street next door to the kindergarten. Its the "Ramsey Street" location for the TV show of the same name which is made here and a big hit in the UK. I've never watched the show myself. Bob T. |
