Malmo, Sweden and a number of Swedes work in<br />
Copenhagen.<br />
Our server at the Palace, Erika, lived in Malmo and takes<br />
the train to Copenhagen main station and walks 3 blocks to<br />
her job. This round trip costs her the equivalent of about<br />
US$4. We stayed on the ship Wednesday night.<br />
21st (Thursday) This morning we flew to Dulles,<br />
Washington Airport, before eventually arriving back home<br />
by 3pm. We were tired but very happy to be back home—<br />
a memorable trip.<br />
---------------------------------<br />
When I wrote about the above trip I thought of the<br />
cruise we did in 1993. We sailed on the “Rotterdam” from<br />
Vancouver, through the inside passage, to Alaska. The<br />
Officers were all Dutch and the crew all Indonesian.<br />

Now the crew is 60% Indonesian and 40% united<br />
nations. The cooks, waiters, etc are FIlipinos and trained in<br />
Manila.<br />
We noticed on this trip there were a number of<br />
speakers, English, German, as well as Americans. The<br />
Captain had a lecture on the ship and a ‘bio’ of himself.<br />
The ship was launched by Queen Beatrice on the 1st<br />
July 2008, in Italy. It cost $569 million—and the Captain<br />
said the ship is now paid for (isn’t that incredible in this<br />
current economic crisis).<br />
The ship burns 9 barrels of oil per mile and they buy<br />
their bunkering in St Petersburg because it has the<br />
cheapest price.<br />
The St Petersburg harbour is frozen from November to<br />
April and the ships have to be escorted by an ice-breaker.<br />
