There's lots to see and do here in...oh, we're done

For a 17 day vacation I really didn't take very many photos. Here are some of the very few I did take.

This first one was taken in Copenhagen, in the Slotsholmen area. Slotsholmen means "something I'm too lazy to look up". There aren't many canals in Copenhagen so the picture is a bit misleading but the buildings are pretty typical.

This picture was taken somewhere between Slotsholmen and the Little Mermaid. The fountain was so special but I thought the backlighting made for a nice pic. The camera didn't do the live scene justice but a little auto-Gimp fixed things up (a bit too well). 

And, of course, the picture that everyone takes. Why this is such a big tourist attraction can only be explained by looking at the other exciting pictures I have posted.

Lastly, as the ship set sail I snapped this shot. You can see the bridge to Malmo in the far distance. Closer in are a bunch of windmills. Closer still are a some people sailing, likely in protest of the giant eyesore windmills with their clean power generation and such. Oh wait, this isn't Nimby, USA!

Those with independent travel arrangements

There is a couple on board that I've seen a few times now. They are notable because they brought folding bicycles with them. I saw them cycling in a couple ports. It's a pretty good idea, especially in northern Europe.
I just saw them again and they were in their gear-helmets, cycling clothes. Not sure how they will handle their luggage, assuming they have any.

Not the spice

Someone on the ship told me that the word "posh" is an acronym for "port out, starboard home"- the preferred cabin location for transatlantic voyages if your home was in England.

Last call

After 6 days at sea (long days since we gained 4 hours along the way) arrived in Halifax yesterday. Weather was very nice there so I wandered around. Not much had changed since the last time I was there.
Today we are in Saint John, NB. It's a bit cold and drizzly. Not much else to say about this place.

The view

Sunny today and the calmest seas yet. Makes for incredibly blue water.

It's Groundhog Day

It's the fifth day in a row at sea or maybe the fiftieth. Who knows?
The comedian on board right now was also on April Asia trip...and while he doesn't have new material the whole situation is funnier than he is so that's a plus.
Otherwise I am reading lots of books. Child 44 was good. Once We Were Brothers was so-so. Currently reading Syndrome which isn't so great so far. But maybe my standards are rising with all the reading. :)
I'm still not sure why I can get email but I'm not complaining.

Hell no, we won't blow

Pretty rough seas yesterday. I hit defcon 1 (aka cold sweat). Had to double up on meclizine and, no surprise, ended up sleeping for about 12 hours. According to the captain, I'll feel better once I get my seal eggs. What deck are they on?
