What’s to be said about Kaipeda? I don’t think anyone was entirely sure what to expect. When we got there at around midday, there was a slightly embarrassing delay of about an hour as our captain tried to park us in a tight space between a small cargo ship and what looked like a small naval ship. I’m always reminded of Reginal Molehusband on these sort of occasions (although – am I the only one that remembers Reginald Molehusband’s pitful attempts to park his car to the entertainment of onlookers? Maybe I imagined him…)..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kaipeda was a quaint little place, with cobbled streets everywhere and lots of scupltures and art galleries. In its main square, a small band played as a newly-married couple danced brieflly.

There was something very enchanting about the place, which was difficult not to like… we loved it!<\/p>\n

In the evening, the finale to the ‘Comedy Legends’ portion of the cruise was all the comedy actors on stage together, answering questions from passengers; earlier in the day, they’d taken part in a hilarious version of the radio game show ‘Just a Minute’.<\/p>\n
