So, our sea shipment made an unscheduled stop in Hamburg, Germany and will now arrive in St. Petersburg port on August 5th. The bad news is that we will now be in the hotel for at least another two weeks. After almost 60 days I can honestly say that I've had enough of the hotel. While I do enjoy the fact that we don't have much space to keep clean, I'm looking forward to saying to Olga 'could you pick something up?'. The good news is that we are scheduled to receive our air shipment on Saturday! Highly critical, as this contains the remainder of or clothes.
They tell us that the air shipment will be delivered around 9:30AM. We are hoping that they actually show up on Saturday...anytime on Saturday. This is important, as we have been wearing the same clothes for the past two months and to be honest we're both quite tired of the stuff we brought with us (yes, they have been laundered several times!). Also, really hoping that our clothes are in good shape (remember, they were packed almost 60 days ago!).
We're also looking forward to being able to prepare our own meals or better yet, having Olga's mom come over to visit and cook 'with' us! I typically enjoy dining out, but this is ridiculous. Not to mention that we eat so late anymore. Since the day starts later here we also finish later, with dinner coming around 9PM. That would be a significant issue for my waist-line if it weren't for the fact that I visit the gym here on most days.
Fingers crossed that our stuff shows up!
