School's almost over, I have started packing

We are looking forward to our summer Baltic Cruise on our beloved Prinsendam. We leave July 6th, fly to Paris and intend to do the trip up and down the Seine on the Bateau Mouche, which we did not do 29 years ago because we could not afford it!
Then we train to Amsterdam ( wonderful memories of our 200$ each Eurail pass for 30 days of travel) to meet friends from the 2006 World Cruise- looking forward to seeing Ella and Leon from New York, Bruce and Vicky from Australia and Ross and his daughter from Toronto.
We board the Prinsendam and go back to our old room- nice, for 2 weeks of heavy duty touring, cruising eating and living- again, nice.

We will transit the Kiel canal, tour Berlin, Germany and stay overnight in St-Petersburg Russia, yes Grumpy, we have booked THE Olga at Denrus for a 2 day do all tour.

We see the 4 Scandinavian countries: Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark and as a bonus go to Poland and Estinia
