Baltic Cruise Trip Report - June 2010

We did all the touring on our own, except in St. Petersburg

20:30 Twice Charmed: An Original twist on the Cinderella Story
21:30 - Character Photos - Formal Daisy, Donald, Minnie, Mickey
Day 3: Oslo
Picked up our Oslo passes at the TI in the port
Then made the short walk to catch the ferry to Bygdoy (free with the Pass).  While waiting for he ferry we snapped some photos of downtown Oslo  - Radhuset and the Nobel Peace Museum.
After getting off the ferry we walked for 10-15 mintues to the Viking Ship Museum, from there a 10 minute walk to the Kon Tiki Museum and then we popped in to the neighboring FramMuseet.
​


We then took the ferry back and ,walked along Johans Gate then a quick detour to get lunch at Fenaknoken.  Prior to making it to Karl Johans Gate we bought a "slushy" fro Emma, gummy bears (Nidar - Laban Seigmenn).  At the deli we took 2 smoked salmon sandwiches to go, phenomenal.  As we arrived at the deli a disney tour bus pulled up.  We entered with them, but they veered right upon entering the store and we went left. 
After lunch some shopping on Karl Johans Gate including shirt purchases at Helly Hansen, and hat/scarf purchases at Dale of Norway.  We contined walking to the National Gallery to see "The Scream".


We then took the metro (1-6) to Majorstuen.  5 minute walk to Frogner Park.  We walked through the park to see the Vigeland statues.  Metro back to downtown and then a short walk to the boat, passing through downtown (with the gay/lesbian festival going on)




18:00 Dinner at Palo - our server was Sasha from Croatia.  We sat by the window and watched the scenic sailaway from Oslo.
We got off The Magic and headed south on foot.  We headed to the site where the Little Mermaid Statue would be if it hadn't been shipped to Shanghai.  We walked through the Amalienborg Palace Square, stopping for some photo ops and then to Nyhahvn for a 1 hr boat tour.   No wait, jumped on and seconds later the boat pulled out
20:30 Showtime with Jason Bishop (Magic and Illusions)
​
Day 5: BERLIN
Berlin - we left the kids on the boat, we didn't want to torture them with 5 hrs of travel.  We did the Berlin on your own excursion.  Train to a tour bus.  They gave us survival maps and a tasty snack (much better than the return snack).
The bus dropped us off in front of the Hilton.  Most people on the bus headed straight into the hotel for potty breaks.
After pulling out the map, compass and then of course asking for directions, I pulled out my Iphone (used the GPS) and then mad about a 7 minute walk to Checkpoint Charlie.  Photo ops and then entered the Museum.  Definitely worth checking out.  The museum is deceptively large.  Most people congregate in the first few rooms and then bail, but there is interesting artifacts throughout the museum.  After about 40 minutes, we decided we needed to push on.




We then walked to Potsdamer Platz, walked past the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and then to the Brandenburg Gate and Reighstag.  Grabbed lunch at Lindner. (Sandwiches and apretzel).  Walked alkong Unter den Linden and bought some souvenirs.  Finally made it to the Pergamom Museum.  Used the 30 minute audio guide - in English, incuded in admission price.




Then a quick walk to the subway station.  Subway to the East Side Gallery (THE WALL).  We walked along the Gallery until the end.  Right before the end of the wall, there is a gap - we entered to find several bars.  Had some quick liquid refreshment and then resumed.  We then walked to get Gelato (at Gemelli), hopped back on the subway.  Had a 15 minute walk from the subway stop to our bus, and made it there 3 minutes after the appointed return time.  Waited 20 minutes, then bus to train, train back to port and then back onboard.  Went to get the kids from the "Club" after 13 hours.  They told us they were busy and to come back in 20.
