Day 82 Wednesday 22nd June 2011
Today we had agreed that we would go to the port and wave off the Fins. Mattie has invited us to Finland to go fishing on the lake where his house is and we may just do that. At breakfast we discovered from Mattie that Juogo was fast asleep having only arrived back at his hotel room at 6am this morning – wow, what a party animal that guy is.
We sat and watched the boat gradually fill with passengers and saw Clyde and Robert go aboard and a few minutes later Mattie and Juogo appeared and went up the gangplank appearing not long after on the top deck. Last to board was circus boy and his group who made it on board literally as they were getting ready to leave port. Circus boy was just as quick to hit the top deck and even before the boat had begun its departure he and the Fins had managed to locate and start on a bottle of hard liquer – they will all be pickled by the time they get to South Korea tomorrow, that’s for sure !

We phoned Yuri and asked him to meet us at the hotel and sort out a small problem we were having with extending our stay and he and Svetlana turned up and we have now managed to secure a good rate which has with it not only breakfast included but also an evening meal.
Eager to see just what an evening meal consisted of we were not at all surprised to find a buffet with most of the things on offer that we also find at the breakfast buffet but we did have the additional fare of salmon and meat dumplings, but we can’t complain as this will help keep our total costs down to around £80 per day or just over £40 each including beer.
