Thanks for your very kind comments.
Don'...CWT,<br /><br />Thanks for your very kind comments.<br /><br />Don't you just love cruising! You stay in a great 'hotel' that goes to a new 'place' every day. Which ship were you on, by the way? We saw a couple of other cruise liners ‘up close’ in Tallinn but did not see any others.<br /><br />I do enjoy going ashore and finding military-related things wherever I go, but I also enjoy the relaxation of a 'sea day'. It is usually on the latter that I manage to catch-up on my reading and rule writing. I have also 'discovered' that most P&O ships have a card room, which has lots of 2' x 2' tables covered in green baize; ideal for DBA/HOTT ... and WHEN EMPIRES CLASH! Now if only they would let me draw a 50mm squared grid on one I would be in heaven! Wargaming AND cruising in one holiday!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-34956590942571699532009-07-31T06:51:41.419+01:002009-07-31T06:51:41.419+01:00Hi Bob, and welcome back.

I had a great time at a lot of the same places as you went, and actually sailed out of Stockholm the day before you sailed in, so our cruise liners must have passed that evening!<br /><br />Annoyingly, your photos and comments are all better than mine, as about the most profound thing I noticed about the Baltic was that all the countries there seem mad for hot-dog stalls in the streets. Still, I liked the museums!<br /><br />CCWThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145880616920091517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-88781258604542638132009-07-30T23:00:44.077+01:002009-07-30T23:00:44.077+01:00Ogrefencer,

When I asked our guide why we could not, she replied 'Is Military Secret!' Apparently they are part of the city's bunker system. That said, you can buy books of postcards showing the Metro in some detail in the shops at each station exit!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-34033026883259848842009-07-30T22:55:38.868+01:002009-07-30T22:55:38.868+01:00Bluebeard Jeff,

Some great pictures as well - All the naval hardware was very impressive (you would probably have been shot taking pictures like that a few years back!) and I cant wait to see the next draft of WEC.
