Travelling alone whether by air or by sea, seems to be such a pain. My head always aches, (I say these days, coz these are the only times, that I’ve travelled alone – gosh, it feels like I’ve let a whole lifetime pass by without doing much.), my eyes water and I constantly feel sleepy without falling asleep. Be it a one hour travel via plane or a 3 hour comfortable travel by a ship, it’s the same shit.
November is the month of travel for me. All the weekends of this month is filled with travel. I’m loving it! The variety is such mind-boggling! First weekend by air to Riga, then by bus to Vilnius; 2nd weekend to the island of Gotland via the biggest ship that I’ve so far been on;. 3rd and 4th weekends are on-board the super popular ‘party boats’ - cruises to Helsinki and Tallinn with a large number of friends; 5th weekend via train to Linkoping just to attend the house-warming party of a friend. Perfect round-up for a rather quiet 5 months spent in Sweden , don’t you think.
December is even more interesting. So far, the plan is to travel to Rovianemi, Santa’s land for Christmas and New Year’s to Kiruna. Hopefully New Year shold be spent at the Ice Hotel. Fingers crossed. That leaves me to fill up the 1st and 2nd weekends of December. The rest are full! Yippee!
Anyways, coming back to the travel plans, the GC is the largest ship that I have travelled on so far. Too bad, I couldn’t wander on the decks as the ship starts well after dark at 20:00. Travel by sea hasn’t truly hit me as yet. There is no Titanic-like scenes wandering from deck to deck, peering over rails at dolphins etc. I guess I have to wait until my trip to Greenland to do that. Do I see a question mark in your eyes, ma dearies? Yes, Iceland and Greenland are on my agenda for summer vacation. Tellin’ ya. Am catching up on lost time!
