Day 5
Sweden! Because of “mechanical” problems the ship isn't going to Stockholm, it's going to Visby instead. This is a small town on the Swedish Island of Goatland – think of Douglas on the Isle of Man, with IKEA and Volvos. We went ashore on the ship's “Tenders”, (launches/lifeboats) – I wanted to sit at the back because it meant I could make jokes about “Tender behinds”....
Visby was quaint, reminded me of Whitby, we wandered around, had a coffee and a sticky bun in the market Square and then came away. Saw a film in the ship's cinema this afternoon, “Up in the Air” with George Clooney – (Jan says she'd like to be “Up in the air” with George Clooney - did you know he's gay allegedly? )
That is a spurious accusation . . . but possibly true!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a great time.
Have you seen any vikings yet?
