Where?
Yep, like you, I have never heard of the place. But that doesn't matter. It's a lovely city and we thoroughly enjoyed
our time here.

It started with a late start. So late in fact that we missed breakfast, but
we did get to see our Comedy Legends play "Just a minute". PS - if I haven't told you, the entertainment
for this cruise has included Frank Williams (Dad's Army), Nikki Kelly, (Hi de
Hi), Arthur Bostrum (Allo Allo), Jeffrey Holland (Hi de Hi) and Melvyn Hayes,
(It ain't half hot mum). That was really
good fun.
After that it was an early lunch, cos we'd missed breakfast,
then downstairs to get sorted to get off ship because it was supposed to be
docked by 12.30.
'Cept it wasn't. I
can only compare the efforts to get the ship into the free space available to
it to my attempts at parallel parking. I
can't! And neither could the ship. After several attempts to negotiate into a
slot only just big enough between a little tanker and a battleship, the Pilot
gave up and a tug was called in to push the ship sideways into the available
space.
So, an hour after intended, we were off the ship and heading
for the tourist information centre. The
map we were provided showed a walking route to encompass all the sights. Since we didn't have anything else planned,
we thought we might as well follow it.
Klaipeda could be described as a city of modern art. It was everywhere, and our little map took us
to a fair amount. Here are the pictures.
