Monday it was time to get back in business after 3 weeks vacation. We went onboard Romantika at mid day to start the HSC.

After the storm the week before Stockholm was calm

and it was a perfect day for a Lifeboat drill.



This type of Lifeboat is supposed to take 150 persons. That means that there has to be one person sitting on every mark.

During the stay in port there are lots of things going on to keep all the passengers happy. Food, drinks and clean linen are taken onboard.


Traveling with dogs is not always easy as this is the dog toilet. I know that my old dog would not have liked it🙂

After a successful day with our colleagues from Latvia in a cold Riga we went ashore and stayed overnight in hotel Radisson Elisabete. After a short walk in old town where the Council hall was very nice decorated

we found a place to have dinner, restaurant Province. A nice little place with good service by these 2 gentlemen.

The ambiance was very nice and they had nice lamps made out of old things.
