Some photos from this morning’s stroll: 1) the tram collision - the switch failure meant that the nearest tram went on the diagonal tracks (see arrow), rather than the straight on ones… 😬 They were going at a snail’s pace though so no injuries. 😅 2) the marina - lots of expensive yachts 3) the Icebreaker ships 4 & 5) the interior of Uspenski Cathedral - a Divine Service meant we couldn’t go inside when we first went. On the way back, two ‘geek’ type men started single choral music, whilst just walking in the street. It was absolutely beautiful and gave me goosebumps. Our pre-booked private transfer (£110!!!) did not turn up and we couldn’t get hold of the driver. We had to pay for a taxi (€50) and were an hour late to the airport. We were so stressed. I tried some different breathing techniques and told myself all would be well (although I’m not 100% sure I believed it). Once we’d got rid of the bags, then cleared security and passport control, we barely had time to visit the Moomin shop…and didn’t have time to check out the Moomin Coffee place at all. 😔 But, we’re home now and Letty was pleased to see us. 😻 My brother has been discharged from hospital and given a sick note for two weeks. As I suspected, he has pleurisy/pneumonia. It’s probably from when he had the bad cold that went on his chest (that he gave to dad…and took two rounds of antibiotics to clear it). 👍🏻 Lee’s dad is still in hospital, should have his procedure done tomorrow, then receive some chemo next week. 🤞🏻 I will see my dad tomorrow. Fingers crossed that all is okay with him. He posted his shopping list through the letter box so that’s a good sign. 😆
