"We continue to bathe in the sea every morning. It is marvellous fun, especially when there are waves. I have already learnt to swim, which I enjoy very much."

                                                           ~ Tatiana Nikolaievna

"My dear grandmother, we enjoy ourselves so much on our beloved Standart. Every day we go ashore with Papa. Marie, Anastasia, and Alexis go seperately. Olga and I go with Papa, as Papa walks a great deal, and Alexis and the boys march up and down by the shore..."

                                                           ~ Tatiana in a letter to Maria Feodorovna
