Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 1, 2019 Author #76 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) When I met my wife in 1976 the lilacs were in bloom . When drove back to Florida I took a bloom home as a car scent and so I still associate that smell with her . The lilacs were in bloom outside of the wall . And so was the Baltica festival It included music and Folk dancing and donuts ! Thumbs up for Tallin , Baltica and Donuts .

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 1, 2019 Author #82 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Something that we missed this time from our previous visit to Tallin was a balloon ride We had hoped to get a balloon cam shot of the Zuiderdam . Will you settle for the Eclipse ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for not giving up on PB. Our previous photos are still missing from page # 3 so we are making smaller posts . We did love the clear weather that night but our best sunset came later , on our last night at sea . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 2, 2019 Author #93 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) We were surprised to see The Other Side Gastro Pub listed in the port guide . We know the owner and he had sold the place and moved back to the US in 2013 . We had hoped to see them while in town . Its very crowded and shallow in the Gulf of Finland an you have to pass through the floodgates to get to SPB . Our terminal The Viking Sun The Celebrity warning Because our Russian Visas had expired we had to wait until 8:30 to get off the ship .

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 2, 2019 Author #95 Share Posted July 2, 2019 We met our guide Irina and driver Nickoli and headed out to Peterhof We had requested a stop at St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Peterfof Unfortunately they were working on the out side and with a service going on inside we could't take photos So we walked down to the upper gardens of Peterhof It's nice and quite there before you enter the busyness of the upper gardens . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
