    OH! Don't feel bad at all, please!

    IHe just needs me near him in case something arises that he can't handle. t's a very strange kind of dependency... And, yes we cruise quite a bit!

    Hi Canarymoon
    The Baltic can be as easy or as vigorous as you wish, because there are tours and means for very low energy specialized tours that can be tolerated by just about anyone with special reqiirements. The whole Scandinavian region is very friendly to mbility impaired visitors so scooters and wheel chairs have an easy time of it. St Petersburg is not so enlighened but it is getting better every year. Some tour companies have lift vans for mobility impaired visitors. The museums are also getting better but now only a few have elevators; Hermitage, Russian Museum, Church on Spilled Blood, the new Performing arts Museum(the largest in the world is set to open by this summer) and a few others. Stairs in the old palaces are generally low rise and have landings after short rises, are wide and have hand rails. Most tour companies which have ship contracs have exact counts of the steps of all the stair cases for the museums, Cathedrals and palaces, so planning an itinerary can be easily matched to stamina levels of the visitors.
    Talliinn also has a more limited access due to cobble stone streets and narrow streets in Old Town but the tours of that town are short and easy because it is tiny.
    Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finlland on the other hand the world leaders in accomodating those with physical limitations. I think the reason I am not as exciting to go to most Scandinavian countries is that they are just too clean, well organized, prosperous, healthy-living, and Normal, the perfect place to live if you have a family. I've always liked places with an edge to them, where rawness is part of daily life.
