Outside the Hermitage

Had 2 days in Saint Petersburg.  The first day, I went to the Fabrage Egg Museum.  Some of eggs are shown with the center surprise outside the egg.  Also, saw the French Impressionist portion in the Hermitage.  The second day, I went to the Hermitage, a huge art museum.  There are 3 million pieces of art displayed, I only saw a small portion.  On the way back to the cruise ship, a stop for souvenirs.  I had a taste of Russian Vodka.  The days were warm in Russia.

Rostock, Germany

Took the shuttle bus into Rostock, Germany.  Walked a bit and found a yarn shop.  Didn't buy any yarn.  a warm day.

Tallilin, Estonia

 The older portion of Tallilin is surrounded by walls.  Cobblestone is very rough, a little challenging to walk on.

Copenhagen

 Church steeple

Went on a walking tour in Copenhagen. Royal palace guard.  Had some rain off and on, during the walk

Amsterdam

This is near Central Station, lots of bikes parked there.  The main way to get around old down town Amsterdam.  I went to the Van Gogh museum, which I loved.  Amsterdam felt comfortable and easy to get around on foot.  I would return in a minute.
