Exploring North-Eastern Europe

Good morning, Dear Friends and Family,

We are preparing to leave the smoke-filled skies of the Pacific North-West and embark on an eight-week trip to NE Europe. We will begin our trip in Berlin, Germany and work our way over to Helsinki, Finland via Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. From there, we’ll cruise to St. Petersburg, Russia. Then we’ll fly to southern Poland to hike in the Tatra mountains and visit the cities of Krakow, Wroclaw and Posnan. It will be exciting to see how these people live and what the impact of WWII and Russian Communism has had on their lives.We’ll be transported by plane, bus, train, and cruise ship and plan to rent bicycles as well.

Though NE Europe is experiencing

an unprecedented heat-spell, weather reports indicate a cooling trend that should continue into autumn. We are looking forward to breathing cooler, cleaner air! We’ll be joining free walking tours to acquaint ourselves with each new place we visit, and supplement our own ” must see” list as we travel.

We began by booking our RT flight and the cruise in/ out of Russia several months ago. Since we committed, politics have exploded, both at home and abroad. Hopefully, we’ll be able to avoid any conflicts and yet share our thoughts with others.

We will share our experiences and photos with you here, through our blog. We appreciate hearing from each of you too, whether under the blog comments section or via personal email.

If you click on “follow” on our site, (I think it is in the lower right-hand corner), you will enter your own email and then receive a notice each time we post something new. This is a secure web-site and we have not received spam as a result of it-as far as we know! 😊

You are always in our thoughts and hearts.

Love, BnL
