What can you see in the middle of the sea? Answer: E. I am not sure if it is a riddle but I remember playing with words when I was in school. And that question is one of those which answer is hidden in one of the words in the question. Forget about riddles cos it’s not what this post is all about. I’m just trying to say that we’re back from an anticipated vacation. We tried cruising this time from the southeastern part of Sweden to a city in Poland called Gdynia. I never heard of this city before. I thought a cruise would be exciting cos just the thought of it was exhilarating. We were cruising for ten and a half hours back and forth. The ship has fine restaurants and bars, slot machines and games, shopping, cozy rooms, free internet and a lot more. But seeing nothing in the outside but water was a dull sight.
There was nothing we could do but eat and sleep and eat and sleep. I won’t say I don’t like cruising again but I wouldn’t want it to be done back and forth. One way could be much better and stay on land for a couple of days and onboard the ship again back home. Good thing that hubby booked a room where we could stay undisturbed and watch tv in our own room. Otherwise it could be more crowded and loud in the cabins.
The ship’s name is Stena-Baltica.

Nakayanan gyud ni Mario, Non. Pero for me, laay kaayo sa dagat ba. Correct, much better pa sa kagwang nga Waterfront, wala nausab from 1999 na pag-adto ni Leif didto. Hehee, naka-recharge na kay dugay na pud momata, wala nay apason na breakfast sa hotel. Luvsss!

Cruises are fun and extremely relaxing but i prefer land vacations tours. hope you had a good time.
Marlene says
It was good on the way to but on the way back was already boring. Land tours are better for me too.
Kent Chow says
Great to have a vacation like that. I like seeing your personal pics on the blog. Cool!
Marlene says
Thank you, Kent. Bet, after this vacation will be a long busy months ahead.

Hope you enjoy lots.I prefer land vacation tours than cruise tours
Marlene says
I did enjoy on land but not so much in the cruise. Yeah, land vacation is agreable.

I always get tensed whenever I aboard ships. One time, we aboard RoRo to go to Samar and I really get tensed because, at that time, the waves are getting higher and higher as we go farther and farther from land. Then at some area, you can see the rain pouring hard. Scary…
Marlene says
It will be a nightmare for me too if I’m on the ship and the waves on the sea were high and cruel in a bad weather. I only boarded Superferry once from Davao to Manila. It scared me to death and I thought I would never do it again.

Ang ganda ng room, parang hindi sa loob ng barko.
Na-experience ko ng sumakay ng barko na akala ko eh matutuluyang lumubog kasi medyo tumagilid sya, grabee nakakatakot, ang mga tao nagdadasal, sumisigaw. May bagyo kasi noon, after ng byahe namin, pina-cancel na ang lahat ng byahe ng barko.
