Sorry so late in posting. Somehow we have been busy from breakfast to bedtime. We know everyone on this cruise. Usually we have people we have not met before so it is definitely fun knowing every single person in the group.
First port
Sundsvall a new port for us. Lovely town and we were on a tour. Did a lot of walking in the town, the buildings were really unique. Then we visited a beaurtiful church.

Second Port
Umea This day we decided to do the shuttle bus. Probably should have done a tour but we failed to book this stop in advance and the tours were all full.
Third Port
Kemi. Interesting area, Sweden and Finland is divided by a river. This was a good tour. A huge aluminum fish on the side of the river. We visited a lot of churches and cementaries around the churches. Learned a lot about Russia invading Finland and how many young men died in that invasion. Churches were beautiful and the cememtaries well kept and so sad to see so many VERY young men who died during this time. We ended the tour stopping at a local mall that was full of people. A huge area outside with a food court and as far as you can see lots of people.
