Cruising in the Baltic!

Returned yesterday from a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Baltic. I was able to visit a few ancestral countries, although not necessarily home towns.

The cruise launched from Amsterdam [Netherlands]. We arrived two days early and spent Day 1 walking around the city. On Day 2, we took a train to Antwerp, Belgium.. Our ports of call were (1) Skagen [pronounced Skane], Denmark, (2) Tallinn, Estonia, (3) St. Petersburg, Russia, (4) Helsinki, Finland, (5) Stockholm, Sweden, (6) Copenhagen, Denmark and back to Amsterdam. The flight home was through Zurich, Switzerland. So, that's a total of eight countries visited for a few hours at least.

Favorite stops and least favorite stops coming up tomorrow!
