Day 9 - 20 August - At Sea - day 5 of the cruise

No plans at all today - this is our last day of rest before 5 straight days in port - Stockholm, Helsinki, St Petersburg (2 days) and then Tallinn.
So, we wandered upstairs and had some breakfast, then downstairs to get some decent coffee from the Cafe al Bacio.  Then, we played the pokies for a while - I actually won something for a change! - then wandered back to our cabin for a well-earned rest.  It's apparently only 16 degrees outside but this morning at least our balcony is sheltered from the wind and in the direct sun, so it's actually beautiful out there!
Paul is currently sound asleep while I catch up on blog entries.  Once this is done, my Kindle and I are heading for the balcony again.
I really will take some photos inside the ship someday - it's really quite nice - but there are so few sea days on this cruise that we don't ever seem to have the time / energy to do anything much onboard except eat and sleep.
