The rest of the afternoon was filled with various activities as we passed through more locks and crossed Lake Ladoga. It is the largest fresh water lake located entirely in Europe. It has an average surface of 17,891 square km (69 square miles). Max depth is 230m (755 feet). At times we could not see any shoreline, just water, around us. In winter is is covered with ice up to a meter thick.
We passed many other ships (river boat and commercial) as we went along.
We would still have a busy rest of the day. First off, Mike had a quick re-visit to the doctor's office for another look-see at his bronchitis. He got another injection and advice to lay low for a couple of days. So off to bed he went.
I, on the other hand, sallied up to the sun deck and Sky Bar for an open air picnic / buffet.
Food and drink were mostly Russian style.
The on-board duo offered Russian music. There was dancing and mingling and just a lovely afternoon.
I took some treats back for Mike.
