Golf at Ballybunion

Today Don & I golfed with Jeff & Chris at Ballybunion, Ireland.  We played the "old course" which dates back to 1893.  It is a links course with no trees and many steep hills. Definitely challenging, but we were up to the challenge.  None of us ran out of golf balls.  My pedometer totaled more than 9 miles.  Probably won't be doing any jigs tonight.

Post cruise

Today we arrived back in Copenhagen, Denmark.
It was a very nice cruise.  Our weather was all good and the seas calm.
We loved Estonia and Stockholm.  It was good to revisit St. Petersburg. It was 7 yrs. ago that we were there with Bethany Christian Services. Also visited Warenmunde, Germany and Helsinki, Finland.
We really would like to spend more time in Sweeden. The countryside was beautiful as we sailed out of port.

We caught a taxi from the port to the airport, but we also had the driver show us the Parliament and the palace on the trip.
Now we have several hours before our flight to Ireland.  Jeff & Nancy are already there.  We are renting a car at the Dublin airport to drive to Shannon for our rendezvous.
