Just arrived in St. Petersburg and now have an Internet connection again. Will give more details soon but uploaded some photos here.
I am especially excited about the Seacloud set, some really great shots of the boat when we got to go out on the zodiacs.
Finally got a reliable Internet connection in Lithuania after no luck on board the ship we are sailing. I am a few days into the trip now and have been through Copenhagen, Poland, and now Lithuania. Tomorrow we head to Riga, Latvia, which is supposed to be great. So far the highlight has been Copenhagen but it is not really fair to compare the other Baltic states since history, and especially the Russians, have not treated them well.
Nothing major to report yet as most of our time has been spent on board the ship either eating, drinking, or singing show tunes by the piano. When we docked in Poland we did have the former Polish President, Lech Walesa, come on board for a brief discussion on the future of democracy both in Poland and throughout the world.
More later when I have a better connection. Enjoy some new flickr sets:
