From one of the poorest cities in Northern Europe to one of the richest, a class voyage. Passing Gotland in the Baltic Sea, in Sweden the call in the “östersjön” or East Sea, once an inland sea of Sweden a long time ago. Weather fine, fatigue has been left behind in Riga, I am unfettered.
New link added to my list www.horslips.ie old favourite band from my teenage years 20 years ago, I see they are selling the back catalogue at £14.99 sterling per album, back in 1985 they were IR£2.99 each in Woolworths on the main street in Wexford, all were bought eventually. Won’t be shelling out 15 quid for them.
Reading……Ulysses by Jimmy Joyce the 1922 text, so far so good, theres no baetin’ a good buke.
Listening to…..not much the old man is into heavy metal so I retreat to the peace of my cabin and am happy with the gentle lullaby of the main engine thudding away.
More news later.Â
