HOT HOT H.E.A.T

  Sunset at sea First day at work after a wonderful vacation. The centrum of the ship at Captain's welcoming party We returned home on Saturday after our gorgeous cruise around the Baltic Sea where we got to visit Helsinki, St Petersburg, Riga, Gdynia, Sopot, Gdansk and Visby before returning to Stockholm. The Winterpalace in St Petersburg, Russia  Gorgeous house in Riga, Latvia   Dinner in the sky (I just wonder how they do if they need to go to the restroom)   Submarine outside of Gdynia, Poland   Lech Walenskas house, former president of Poland Me and Hasse on the tender boat to Visby I love the Vision of the Seas, one of the smaller ships in RCCL's fleet. We had, just like last time, a junior suite with a big balcony. Compared to other ships this balcony is huge and was in frequent use by us, both mornings and nights. Breakfast on the balcony I love the sound of the waves at night when going to sleep and the ...

Tomorrow there are two big events going on. First and formost it's H.E.A.T on TV4 progam "Sommarkrysset" which airs 8PM (Swedish time) Unfortunately me and Hasse will then be onboard the ship Vision of the Seas and might not be able to see it. We will watch it when we come home on TV4 play :-) I'm so looking forward to our cruise where we will go to some interesting places - Helsinki, St Petersburg, Riga, Gdansk and last but not least Visby :-) Some we have been to before but some are completely new to us. This is the kind of suite we are having onboard. Nice don't you think? I do hope the weather will be a bit better than it has been the last days. Thunder, rain, thunder, humid, a little bit of sunshine - my head doesn't like this at all!! Nor does my body and my Sjogren's :-( I will bring my IPad and maybe I can place some photos on FB if I'm lucky :-) Until then have a great time and take care!

 View from our friends paradise in Dalarna   Me and Hasse in front of his old home in Ludvika Since I'm on vacation at the moment and moving around a lot it's hard to keep up with blogging.  Me and Pär our friend and also father to one in H.E.A.T Hasse and Brita (Pär's wife and accordingly mother to a member of H.E.AT Since last I and Hasse have been visiting good friends in Söderbärke, Dalarna and after that we went to "our hotel" for a 3-day stay which was very nice.  The entrance to Artipelag   Hasse on the walkway from the boat to Artipelag   Me and Hasse on the bridge  As usual lots of cruising ships in Stockholm this time of the year . Then I took off to Malmö to visit my Mom's cousin who is 84 and very vital. We always have so much fun togheter and this time I cooked for her which I promised I would do.  My Mom's cousin, Kerstin I made cold avocado soup with shrimps to start with. Then a cod with win...

 I'm much better in my hand now and my breast so I'm able to write more. It's always been easier on the computer but took forever. The photo above of the gorgeous sunset is taken on Saturday night from the window at our hotel room. Yes, we have been at it again. Our favorite hotel but first we went on a ships visit to Holland America lines ship - Eurodaam. It's a huge ship but very nice and if I may say with a kind of calmness. I loved it and this might be the ship we will go on next time. We were given coffee when entering onboard. Then we got a tour around the ship with the DJ onboard. Of course I gave him a hint about the best Melodic Rock band - H.E.A.T :-)  Hasse and in the background the start After the tour we were invited to lunch - a 4 course meal with wine! We sat together with a very nice couple.The man turned out to be manager of the travel company where we had booked our cruise :-) Isn't that a coincidence? This is the ship we are goin...
