THat's some trip! A lot of nice places to see! Enjoy Barcelona, St petersburg and, well, amsterdam.

It seems LG just entered the rock bands world! 8-)

If you'd like to meet me to chat or maybe play some games in Oslo on May 11th, send me a message, kpato, and we'll see if we can make it happen! :-)

I guess you want to replace Zeebrugge for Brugge. (Zeebrugge is the harbour of Brugge), and Brugge is one of nicest medieval cities in Europe.

And if the meeting between Kpato and Marius does take place, please take some photos and post them on LG for us to see, as Klaashaas and ypercube did several years ago. :)

lets do it Marius, let me check my schedule, i will send u a message with the hours.
Thanks for the tip Hjallti

If someone want to share a cool place to go and visit, please fell free to tell me.

Today I'm in Italy, i came to Pisa and i just saw the tower.

If you are in Flamm, take the "Norway in a nutshell" tour... I liked it very much. It seems you do the tour twice. I don't understand... you travel twice on everything

Wowsers, that sounds draining. Helsinki (where I work 1 day a week) and Tallinn (where I work 4 days a week) are both places I can, and would be my pleasure to, show you the sights.

tellme 1 day and i will tell you my hours availables :)

Assuming I've tracked your boat down to the right one, your free/onshore hours are on Cunard's website. Nothing between 8am to 5pm is particularly compatible with either my sleeping habits or my day job, but I'll do my best!

So - are you the jazz band?

there is no such thing like a Jazz band.

Im in one of the orchestras of the ship, but yeah, sometimes we play jazz :)

and the hours onshore, doesn't mean that i do not have dutys on board at that moment.
but usually i don't have , hehe

"Just in cases", so that kpato doesn't miss it: here

May 15 Helsinki
May 16 St Petersburg
May 17 St Petersburg
May 18 Tallinn

Kpato - I might be in Helsinki tomorrow (14th), and can possibly stay overnight, and therefore can perhaps meet you in Helsinki on Tuesday. I can't make any promises, alas, as it depends if I get a call tomorrow morning. (In which case, I'll be darting off onto the next possible boat, and won't have time to write a message here.)

Some time early on the 18th is still booked for you in Tallinn.

Do you have a pay-as-you-go mobile phone, so that you can receive SMS's in real time (and if necessary send them)?

i dont celphone.

Helsinki I'm available since 9.30
I'm still good for tallinn , tell me what u do think tomorrow.

I can ask for a bike here in the ship, so if u say a location i might reach that place (near the port)

Don't miss the tour of Suomenlinna that Cunard lay on (even if some of the stuff they tell you will be false!). To be honest, I'm not so good with touristy stuff in Helsinki, as I only lived there!

i don't care too much the tourism. Just a cup of chocolate and game would be fine.
I don't take any Cunard tours.

So??? Helsinki? or Tallin?
answer as soon as possible.
if Helsinki, tell me a place and an hour, I'm gonna be there in bike and wearing a grey hoodie

I didn't get the call this morning, so didn't go over.

Tallinn is definitely on though. I live really close to the Harbour. (But I don't know exactly how to get to your harbour, I've never been on any of the fancy international cruise ships, scumbag that I am).

I drink for that!!

I hope you make it!! :)

Well, I got the call, so I shall be emerging from a Lindaline boat at Makasiiniterminaali, which should be very close to where you're berthed in the South Harbour, at about 11:30 today.

Look for someone in a black hoodie, faded blue jeans, and carrying a heavy laptop case. Long-haired, scruffy-looking, and unshaven. I'll hang around for a short while, but will be expected at work before after lunch.

im in Helsinki.
a main street. In a place called CafeJava on a corner of the street.

https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=60.169828,24.937154&hl=en&ll=60.16929,24.936025&spn=0.007365,0.019033&sll=60.169828,24.937154&sspn=0.007365,0.019033&doflg=ptk&mra=ls&glp=1&t=m&z=16

i dont trust to much in this , but here is my location.
if there is not enough time, tallinn is the day.
Im in day off, but a need to be back at 5.00

getting off the boat now. can be there in 15 minutes

awesome, r u carrying a game?
we should look for another place maybe, I'm a little hungry

yeah dude, I'm watching u, second floor.

What an amazing world we live in!

Who won?

Incredible!!! What game did you play?

kpato thrashed me at Four in a Row, but I had the upper hand in Dots and Boxes.

It's a small world after all.

kpato is quite strong in 4iR

i don't think I can train myself up enough in 4iR in 2 days to be able to dominate in the (first) Tallinn leg.

And by 2 days, I clearly mean -172800 seconds ago! ;-)

haha

yeah

I'm here, beside a big church in a hill :/

That must be the Orthodox church on Toompea? There are some viewing platforms that look out over the old town. As I mentioned before, we live very close to the tallest spire, St. Olaf's. We're up for coming out to lunch.

thats alright, i can stay in tall in until 3.30pm
i was in the Olaf Church a few minutes ago.

i u want tu met me, give me some instructions

ive me some instructions

:) bye

after lunch, of course hehe i don't want to bother you

Cafe recommendation if you want to be lazy - Kehrwieder on the central town hall square.

For food, it would be good if we could eat in the authentic medieval restaurant "Olde Hansa", just off the town square. (All the other "medieval" restaurants are fake - they all have dishes that include potatoes, a foodstuff that simply didn't exist at the time in this area.) I can take a break from work at about 11:30.

give me instructions, i don't have any idea of where is the NORTH!!!
send me a map or something like that.

At 1pm, the sun's due south!

is that a joke?
why 1pm ? i thought u wanted at 11.30

It's not a joke - it's a law of physics!

I'll see you at 11:30 at the town hall square (Raekoja Plats), next to the town hall building itself (Raekoda) http://www.tallinn.ee/raekoda

town hall square,
I'm going right now, i hope find it!

im starving

yay - victorious at EinStein!

this guy is superior in realtime EWN

realtime EWN: I would love to try it sometime! 8-)

Did you meet in Olde Hansa? It seems to be a really nice place :)

Yup, we had lunch and a 5-point game!

Realtime EWN I have played with my pupils (4th grade) and they will recieve a question about it on the test next week...

The flemish radio 1 had a report of 2 british cruis ships in Zeebrugge yesterday heading to Southampton... must have one of them with kpato on...
