Baltic Cruise Journal: Day 5 (July 8th) – Oslo, Norway

Well, I think I jammed about all I could into today. The captain told us yesterday that we would be entering the Oslo Fjord at approximately 5:45am on our way to arriving at the city of Oslo by 10am. The word on the street (sea) was that the scenery would be beautiful by 7 or 8am as the Fjord narrowed.

I wanted to make sure I experienced this, so I got up at 6am and took a gander outside. It was cool and rainy with a low hanging fog, so land was very difficult to see. Since I was already up I decided to head to deck 18 for a 3-mile run on the track (21 laps!!). Most of this was completed in a driving rain, but it was still an enjoyable run as the land on either side of the Fjord grew closer and closer.

Baltic Cruise Journal: Day 4 (July 7th) – Boarding the Regal Princess

Well, we finally got our luggage about 5 minutes before midnight on Monday, which was a HUGE relief. Since I now had some more clothes, I was finally able to go for a morning run in Copenhagen before breakfast. 

I love to explore new places on the run and it was awesome to run through this fabulous city. I started out in the Ørestad area and ran 2.5-miles down Ørestad Blvd. to the edge of the downtown area and back for a total of 5-miles. Most of this route was on a crushed gravel path running beside the street, which is just about the best surface you can hope for. It was neat to pass hundreds of bikes with people going to work. Many of them were dressed in full business attire.

Let me just say that I fell in love with Copenhagen, and I wish we had more time to explore this great city. It is very clean, the people are ridiculously friendly, and it is stunningly beautiful. Most of the buildings are fairly short (there is no “skyline”) and are a mixture of very old and very modern. I also love that it is on the water with lots of waterways and harbors. Also it is a huge plus that almost everyone speaks fluent English.

Baltic Cruise Journal: Day 3 (July 6th) – Copenhagen, Denmark

After a nice breakfast at the Hotel, we boarded a motor coach at 9am and headed into the city of Copenhagen. Our tour guide for the day was named Anna, and she was awesome. We learned that the population of Copenhagen is around 575,000 and that the overall population of Denmark is over 5 million. There is very little bandwidth for traffic in Copenhagen, so the primary method of transportation is bicycle. It was very difficult for our bus to navigate the 2-lane roads of the city with all of the congestion.

Our first stop was at Christensborg Castle. This castle has burned down twice and the current structure was built in the 17th century. We did not go inside the castle, but walked around the grounds and saw the entrance to the Denmark parliament, which is located within the castle. I found it interesting that they have no idea who the figures are who are carved above the entrance, so the people of Copenhagen call them headache, earache, toothache, etc. because of their poses and the position of their hands. In the back of the castle was a statue to Christian IX, who is known as the father-in-law of Europe because of how many children he had, and how many of his daughters ended up as royalty in other countries.

Baltic Cruise Journal: Day 1 & 2 (July 4th & 5th) – Travel from Nashville to Atlanta to Amsterdam to Copenhagen

Not sure I’ll have enough Internet connectivity throughout this trip to blog every day, but gonna give it a shot:

Well, Saturday began a two-week trip with my Dad to Europe / Asia for an 11-day cruise of the Baltic Sea on the Regal Princess. The first two days have been all about travel. This included flights from Nashville to Atlanta, Atlanta to Amsterdam, and Amsterdam to Copenhagen. It was hard to leave my girls in Nashville, but I’m excited about my first trip to Europe and Asia, and especially excited about two weeks with my Dad. This group from Wilson Bank & Trust has 48 people and it is nice to have a tour director who is taking care of everything.

Tomorrow Morning at Bellevue Church of Christ

Logo_Wide-300x66

Tomorrow morning I will have the pleasure of preaching at 9:00am worship service at Bellevue Church of Christ.

My lesson will be entitled, The Cost of Discipleship, taken from Luke 14:25-33…

25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

If you are in the Middle Tennessee area, we would love to have you join us!
