THURSDAY - TODAY is the 14th June and we are having a sailing day. That is to say we left Tallinn far behind yesteday and sailed all night and today we continue to sail homewards towards Warnemunde in Germany where the Saga Ruby will berth again in the morning.
We have had a restful day, and looked at more of the Russian artifacts that were brought on board for sale when we were in Russia. The tax free shop has lots of lovely gifts in it and there is a special display of the Russian items left from the particular sale of lacquer boxes we had to choose from yesterday.
I must admit to succumbing to the Russian boxes yesterday, and this morning I got some more items and gifts for friends and family!!!
We also went into the ballroom and photographed the Jazz Buffet ready for lunch; it comprised of wonderful food displays including some marvellous 'ICE CARVINGS' of fish and animals - really wonderful workmanship.
We have decided not to take the special trip to Berlin; this is because it means leaving the ship at 6.45 a.m. and travelling for 3 hours each way by coach. Although there will be a guided tour in Berlin it is quite hot and there is some walking and steps to climb etc.
No, instead of this we think we will simply stroll into WARMUNDE itself, a pretty fishing village /port town, and from there we can take a local bus (20 minutes only) to Rostock if we want to.
So, having spent another lazy day relaxing and resting and spending ... we have had a formal photograph taken in our finery!, had a delicious evening meal, and then we are going to the onboard Cinema to enjoy a thriller.
We will be putting the clocks BACK an hour this evening so tomorrow we will only be ONE in front of home ... doing our best not to get muddled up!
We will give you all the news of Germany tomorrow when we get there and have had a look around !!!

As I sit here in my little home office (shed) down the garden and view the weather - chucking it down, ground waterlogged (almost need to consider starting the building of an Ark project). I really feel so NOT LIKE DOING ANY WORK today!
Thought about those lucky enough to be on holiday and spent the last hour reading the BLOG 'All at sea'. Now I feel like I am there with them on that cruise. Sue's descriptions of things and places are so good that I was easily able to picture the places and events she described. Feeling much more like tackling work now I have had that mini-break. Love E XX
