Singapore Days 2 & 3

We didn’t have a tour scheduled until the Singapore by Night at 6:00 PM. I went to the mall attached to the cruise terminal with Betty. Bunny’s legs were sore from the previous days events so she elected not to go. It is a huge mall and since it was Saturday, it was very crowded....

Singapore Day 1

The photo above is my morning shot from the balcony in Singapore Harbor. We didn’t dock until noon. Our tour was scheduled for 12:45. We got off the ship and had to go thru immigration. That took 45 minutes. The line was really long and we had to go through to an agent,...

Another day at sea

It was a pretty normal day at sea. I went to calligraphy, Bunny went to the jacuzzi..Then I went to a lecture about Nat King Cole. It was very interesting. I didn’t realize what a big star he was in the 40’s and 50’s. Then it was Trivia time. There were only 5 of us...

Elephants!

Today we were in Koh Samui, Thailand. It is on the island of Nathan. It was a hot and steamy day. We boarded mini vans with 8 passengers each and drove to the Samui Elephant Kingdom about 20 minutes away from the pier. It is a sanctuary where the animals live out...

Goodbye Vietnam

We set sail around 1 PM on Monday. We had no tours today so I splurged and called the kids this morning. It was Monday morning here and Sunday night there. It was good to hear their voices. Then a friend sent pix of the front of the house. After seeing them...

Best day in HCMC

We had an early tour so ordered breakfast to be delivered to the room.. I ordered 2 hard boiled eggs. For some reason, the kitchen thinks we also ordered fried eggs. This has happened 4 times now. I hate to waste them but I only eat one of the two hard boiled eggs I get....

Good Morning Viet Nam

we arrived at the port for Ho Chi Minh City yesterday around 2 PM. As we were sailing up the Saigon River, our sister ship, the Viking Sky was leaving port. We all went on deck and waved to her as we passed. I’m having problems uploading photos, so this may not get...

Confusion

Another sea day. I went to calligraphy. Since I am a lefty, I’m finding it difficult to do. I did come up with a monogram, which is what I wanted to do. Now I just have to perfect it. Then I went to a lecture by our favorite lecturer. He talked about who...

I Give Up Part 2

After a dip in the infinity pool and a rest, I felt much better. I also looked up Saigon weather. It will be 100 but humidity will be in the 50% range and it cools off at night. I think I can live with that. Not sure about the other places tho. ‘When...

I Give Up

This has not been a good day…..first, I can’t air drop my photos from phone to iPad so I’m frustrated about that. We are in Semarang, Java, Indonesia. We went on the Panorama tour at 10:00 this morning. The streets in Semarang aren’t any better than in Bali. Lots of scooters...
