It’s been a busy few days. We left Cochin and flew to Delhi on Spicejet airlines. I think it’s equivalent to Spirit in the US. We had a stop halfway there but couldn’t get off the plane. Security came through and had each of us identify our carry on bags in the...
The ship left port yesterday and we are still in Cochin..we’re staying at a Marriott Hotel until tomorrow. We had breakfast at the buffet at 7:00ish. We had to meet by 9:00 to get on the buses to go to Kumbalangi village. We drove through Cochin out to the country side on a...
We had an early tour this morning. We met in the theater so we could go through face to face immigration. Then we boarded the bus for a city tour. It was actually a tour of the old city. We first went to one of the oldest churches in the city. Cochin was ruled...
It’s a good thing we were at sea today. We are sailing in the Laccadive Sea. Ever heard of it? Neither have I. It’s a very calm sea so I’m happy. We arrive in Cochin, India in the morning. We have a tour in the morning, then back for lunch and...
We are in Sri Lanka for 2 days, arriving yesterday. We had no tours planned for the day, but there was a row of shops along the pier, so of course we shopped. I got yet another elephant thing-a shirt this time. It’s a pretty long tunic of very lightweight cotton.. Bunny found...
We had a couple days to relax after 6 straight days of ports. This seeing the world is hard work! We have a new art teacher. She taught us quilling yesterday. It’s the are of rolling long, narrow strips of paper into coils and making designs with them. We made a card yesterday. Today...
We were in Phuket, pronounced Foo-ket, today. We had to tender ashore. It wasn’t too long a ride and we used a local tender. We had a Panoramic tour of the city. When we were by the water, there was a nice breeze so it wasn’t too hot. We got off the tender and...
Sunrise over Georgetown. It was warm already when I took that photo at 7:00 AM. Bunny and I went separate ways this morning. She had a tour by Rickshaw. I went to a batik place and made a batik square. First they showed us the two methods of printing batik. ...
We didn’t go on our tour today. We needed a day of leisure. Around 11:30 we left the ship , took a shuttle to the hotel at the end of the very long pier. It was pretty hot already but not so humid. We just wanted a glimpse of the place to see...
The photo above is sunrise over the port this morning. I was up early due to sore legs and hips. I went on the tour today but decided to skip tomorrow’s tour in Lankawi, Maylasia. I will spend the day relaxing and resting my legs. We had a nice tour of Kuala Lumpur...
