There's A Boat Comin' In

Day 80 Monday 20^th June 2011  

The Fins still had a happy smile on their faces when we saw them at breakfast.  We left them to reflect on their previous day’s conquest and went shopping for an electrical adaptor to allow American style plugs to be used in Russia (Russia uses a two pin plug very similar as those used in France). We trawled around the Gum department store and we were directed by one sales guy to another floor which had an electrical store stocking just what we needed. Pleased with our purchase (Mark even more so because now he can charge his shaver and give himself a haircut) we decided go to the Maritime port to see if we could catch the arrival of the DBS cruise ferry from DongHae that was due into the port this morning. The weather was hot and we wished that we had the suncream with us as the sun started to turn our skin red.

Arrival of the DBS FGerry from DongHae, South Korea

The ferry was late as usual and Mark gave up and went back to the hotel to do some laundry. Not long after he left the familiar shape of the small ship came into view and it edged its way slowly to its berth with the help of the little tugs dancing at its bow.  

I met the Fins again back at the hotel and they told me that they had paid a return visit to the sauna but were disappointed this time because the girls had been younger at around 18 and not as experienced as the older ones they had been with the day before – these guys were now becoming choosy on what sort of whore they go with ! They were also celebrating the fact that they had finally managed to get tickets for themselves and their bikes for the ferry which leaves again on Wednesday bound for South Korea. These are the same tickets that had “sold out” so we are keeping our fingers crossed for the Fins that their purchased tickets are valid. 

Later in the day we met up with Clyde, the American and another English guy, Robert and went for a meal . We found a restaurant nearby and sat down but Robert made his excuses and left the table and went to the bar saying that he had eaten earlier. The remaining three of us had a good meal, Robert having rejoined us at the table with his drink,  and we treated Clyde by paying the bill wishing them both Bon Voyage on their trip to Korea on the same ship as the Fins.
