Instead, a lazy day...

 

Last evening and all last night we experienced a lot of ship motion due to rough seas (but thankfully not enough to cause nausea). We woke this morning as we were nearing Mariehamn, Finland, only to hear an announcement that the ship would not be able to safely dock due to wind related safety concerns. While it's always disappointing to miss a port, we do appreciate that passenger safety is Oceania's #1 priority. 

So basically we've had a very lazy Sunday. Ronnie is still working on his play writing (same story as his book). I did some work on my computer. I've been promising myself that I would delete photos that I don't need and would never do anything with. I started in the A's and believe it or not, I made it through one folder - Agapanthus! It's ridiculous how many pictures I take! I have literally hundreds of folders and I'm just beginning this task. There's a limit to how many gigabytes my laptop can hold, so I need to keep at it.

This afternoon we both took naps (mine 2.5 hours). So it's been a very restful day for me. Tomorrow we should be in Stockholm, Sweden. We hope to be able to navigate our way to the Vasa Museum and Old Town, but we'll have to keep our eye on the time since All Aboard will be at 4:30 p.m.

I'm sure it's obvious by now that I have a very heavy shutter finger. I take many more photos than I will ever do anything with, much less post. Since there's nothing to write about on a sea day, I'll just post some random photos from the trip so far that didn't make the cut previously. They are in no particular order.

most places (unless really remote) have souvenirs

 

Walking along inside the port in Estonia we saw this couple getting their picture made. From a distance I thought they were taking marriage photos. As I got closer, I quickly grabbed this shot and when I downloaded it later I realized they were both wearing sunglasses. Surely this was for a sunglass ad.

sunglass commercial?
