Baltic Sea Cruise
We took a cruise through the Baltic Sea to see several countries in a short period of time.




June 18- In the Middle of the Baltic Sea
So it is the morning now, and last night Ans and I stayed up till one playing fortnite and watching movies since we could not sleep, and well the result of that, us being jet-lagged, and no alarm somehow we slept in until 12:30. So with that, I woke up first, and peering down at my phone screamed: “ How did we sleep till 12:45”. We all got ready, my dad made coffee, and we took a video of him out on the deck pretending to be in a Folger's commercial singing “ The Best Part Of Waking Up Is Folgers IN Your Cup”. LOL! Anyway, we then went down to breakfast, I mean lunch :) we ate at the buffet place, then after that, we intended to play the morning trivia game, so we showed up when it said but were confused cause a yoga class was taking place at the time trivia was scheduled for. What we soon figured out from the bartender was that we had traveled into a different time zone, so our clocks were 1 hour behind what it should be, the network was off so our phones never automatically switched. So yeah we missed that ..oops...So we headed back to our room to put our bathing suits on to visit the cruise waterpark. At the park there were countless pools then 4 cool waterslides, 2 of which were straight down drops where you get in the tube and it drops you. We did the swirling one first- Ansley’s request- Ans and I raced down. It was actually more fun than I had initially expected, it increased in speed near the bottom, I rode it 3 times twice on the yellow one and once on the purple one. Next my dad and I planned on going on the straight drop down one; however just my luck, I was 98.24 pounds and I needed to be 99 pounds to ride on the slide! Like legit I was watching 4th graders ride it! OMG! The day before I was 99.6 when I weighed myself to do the bungee trampoline like um… Anyway, sadly I could not ride the slide...UGH. Kinda funny though. After the waterpark, we went to the Arcade for a bit with my dad cause Ans was eager to challenge my dad, so yeah. Though we all came out about equally victorious with the same amount of wins and losses, so I guess were all at about the same level in skill. Next, we came back to our hotel room and relaxed a bit: Ans and I played Fortnite with our cousin Greyson and her friend Morgan, then we got ready for dinner. We went to a fancy, dress up a place called Manhattan, where we called a game called who knows me better and we rotated around quizzing each other asking questions about ourselves. Then we discussed what cool thing our we gonna knock off the bucket list this trip, and we settled on paragliding in Iceland. After dinner, we headed back to the hotel room, where then we left Ans while my dad and I wandered the boat a bit more, I checked out the teen club but wasn’t impressed, to be honest. Then my dad and I discovered the Ice Bar, a bar made entirely of Ice, so we went back to the room asked And if she was open to it- then I made a reservation for 9:30. Fast Forward to 9:30 we arrived at the Icebar where we put on these provided coats and gloves( Ans and my coats were pink and my dads' was yellow). Then we made our way into the 10 below freezing room, where the 30-minute countdown began. In that time we took pictures, I ordered both the non- alcoholic drink options(The Lady Liberty and The Coney Island), then we talked with this other really nice family the whole time. Ansley's poor style choices( jandals in 22 degrees) led her to be cold, it was funny though so… After that, we headed back to our hotel room and we're gonna just chill the rest the night, but hey get excited because tomorrow is Estonia! YAY! But that's a wrap, folks! Good Night this is Riley Jaye Signing out. Ahahha. Bye.
