Cruising the North and Baltic Seas.... Dover and Copenhagen




Dover (and Harwich):  Am cruising the North Sea, along the coast of Denmark.  Had a great flight to London (all 3 seats to myself and an incredible view of central London before landing at 7am) -- then boarded the ship's transfer bus, which drove us two hours through the gorgeous countryside (one of those rare clear, warm summer days) to...Harwich. The Ocean Princess is nowhere to be seen...we're at the wrong port! Two and a half scenic hours later, arrived in Dover and boarded the ship. Beautiful view of  Dover's White Cliffs on our way out to the North Sea. For the errant bus ride, received $59 credit -- can't figure out why it wasn't $60--turns out it was the cost of the airport transfer.  Tomorrow, Copenhagen -- 1st time there. 
 


Copenhagen:  Copenhagen was great--a gorgeous, warm, cloudless afternoon-- perfect for walking to museums/palaces/streets. Had tea at Perch's--yummy scones for me, and sandwiches for mom. Before returning to the ship,we had a glass of wine at L'Angleterre and people-watched. Have to return as didn't have time to see everything! (hint, Colin) Took lots of photos and will take many more.... Now cruising the Baltic Sea -- headed to Klaipeda, Lithuania.
