get the wor (l) d

Or so.
At least I have the last tour again properly exploited the possibilities and made the trip again NEN working holiday trip. As far as that goes. So why all the same commitment and started on the first stop of our tour Baltic same time landed.
Tallinn, a nice little small town, just when the sun is not to be despised. Unfortunately, a bit empty, except for one street in downtown Tallinn has not really revived. After all, there are a lot of cafes and even an aura photo shop, so what more could you want?
Sure, if you go to Tallin east and wants more, wants to St. Petersburg. Or Leningrad, depending on whether you believe the sign at the entrance of water or a map. I threw my care and that's why I also looked at St. Petersburg. A beautiful, exciting city. Cultural highlights of which I previously knew only from the Russian book finally saw time ago. And ends the trip as I had started it.

Started on Nevsky Prospekt, please direct to the Cathedral Kasansker ausm taxi. And I'm happy about the nice people there comfortably romp on the lawn. However, the city's rather have as clean and empty, just bring any money people in the park's why people come out of there soon and Rasensprikler with prohibition signs up. Aha.
At the end of the trip a similar experience, but we are not there yet. First There Were the Winter Palace, the Church of the Redeemer, the armored cruiser Aurora, the Peter and Paul Fortress and the only Toilettenbus the world (or at least far and wide) to see, wonderful. In between all the Neva, about the sun and into the hand again and again with the Russian ice cream tasting like cardboard waffle. Which incidentally is not even raise more easy.
Anyway, a wonderful trip, impressive. Evening, then back toward the harbor, in time to get over the seven bridges that open at night and no one left after 1am on the islands of the city, so also let the ship.
Then, at the former beach walk or drink a beer, And come to talk with two Russians, one German was (no wonder they came from Wiesbaden). Former beach promenade, because before the new port is built. There, where our ship is in the midst of this huge construction site in anything. An artificially raised port, to a highway and an artificially heaped city. And where before there were times of social housing with a beach view now creates a Nobel world that Dubai can be gathering dust in the sand, or something like that (see [1] and [2] ). Aha.

Then I got an old Russian tradition, my disappointment sunk in alcohol, and that was wonderful!

Well, yesterday in Stockholm looked at again in the evening, from fersehturm, and will now also have time to pack belongings. Is about time, and now I am at least correct in the holiday mood. And by the end of your holiday ISTS still a long time, juhuuu!

Yes you know from before. Early it is thick with NEM satchel and Ner Russian work on the horizon in the school, nothing seems further away than the holiday on the Baltic Sea. Sitting quietly in the classroom and sweat. Because the heat is incredibly early age. So that one can not always focus on nothing at all. And then, after Hofpause, around 10 am, a tense waiting for the recess bell. Those decisions based on results of a research unforgeable inspection of selected specialists (Physik!) thermometer to school, between Russian retreat and freedom.
And it rings once, twice, yeah! The whole school screaming "free heat" and an hour later they all meet again in the pool, exactly, because that was then.
Today, everything is different, but yet so similar. First, Martin's fault. After I am THURSDAY evening after a furlough of a few hours (nice people and made my future scooter) was on board again in time we would just run out yet (ie depart) must. But Martin, a stormy depth of his character, had to spontaneously run up to peak performance . Too much rush for the exit port of Rostock small and such a large ship.
Friday, after waking up, is still left and right Rostock seen alongside the ship. Already NEN day on board, but not yet freed himself from the pier. Martin blows still full jug. And as always, on the first day there ne emergency exercise, this time around but got away without any.
And then the decision must be made. Not from me, fortunately. But not to make the whole even more stressful, it is decided that all guests are allowed on board again until midnight, when they want to, It could not go before.
Granted, there was not really a cry Hurrah on board. I stayed in my ear guests, who came from Rostock, who of course were thrilled limited. Could look but then again at home on the right, in so nem storm knows you never
But the crew, so I could also get out again, this time until late in the evening. Yeah! A smile on the Geschtern Koeppe some fish. What an offer for an evening at home, thank you Martin!
One evening, which was really wonderful, it's good cooking itself. And then There Were klezmer, live, and directly in our house. Half and Half . Well, Sturmfrei just because Party is made. Lovely!

And that was yesterday, today and Martin have not lost the fun to annoy us. But something isser out of breath yet. And off we go, the same. With two days late. Be wherever, now finally be improvised. But I'm looking forward to the penultimate round here, which is more varied than expected.

Another round behind me, so I've slowly found my toys on board. In fact, I am working mostly with phones, not bad. Somehow corresponds exactly my education, even if the former set of Hebdrehwählern now a firmware-update equivalent. Incidentally, I was never good in Hebdrehwähler set, but that's not even the way down here.
Here is one that I had recently visited. In Rostock, very wonderful visit from my flat and around it, beautiful. And I used to think Baltic rounds are stupid, nope. Wonderful to be home every few days. And love to see familiar faces. And a beer in the House of Friendship ( Program to drink). Like a real country person.

And as a holiday visit in between the Baltic Sea, yelling, Rainer? Although I would even book a vacation in this weather, but today's it already cold and rainy! Well, did, indeed, two attempts to see Tallinn. A good feeling that the time is already scarce. But I still have to see, the pubs of Tallinn, the armored cruiser of Leningrad and the fjords of Helsinki. In July before I am again in Rostock, and hopefully you all will meet when they go camping. Yeah!
