I stay there for two days. I&#8217;m really looking forward to this because it will be my first time visiting Russia. <\/p>\n<p>The last cruise ship I was on, the HAL Europa, is in St Petersburg on Sunday, the same as my current ship. I hope to meet up with some of the cast\/musicians who I got to know on the Atlantic crossing. I said to them: &#8220;Hey, I might get a cruise in the Baltic in May, I might see you there!&#8221; Of course, never expected that to be the case. But the two ships will probably be next to each other at the cruise port, so I&#8217;ll probably be able to track them down.<\/p>\n<p>Next up are Helsinki and Stockholm, two cities I&#8217;ve visited before, but only in wintertime (for various juggling conventions). Then there&#8217;s two days at sea, a stop in Dover, and a flight back from Heathrow to Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>Plans for this trip:<br \/>\n&#8211; Finish reading and review two novels (Little Brother and The Final Circle of Paradise).<br \/>\n&#8211; Write some more my novel (codename: Human Danger).<br \/>\n&#8211; Write an article for Kaskade (the European juggling magazine).<br \/>\n&#8211; Redesign my professional juggling website (currently the images are broken and it looks rather drab).<br \/>\n&#8211; Do two kickass shows (shorter shows than recent attempts).<br \/>\n&#8211; Take some interesting photos and get some new footage for my year long juggling travel video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday I got a call from my agent about a last minute gig.
