    Leaving Colombo Sri Lanka for our overland excursion to India and the Taj

    The Local Lion Beer in Colombo Sri Lanka We pulled into the port of Colombo Sri Lanka about noon yesterday after two days at sea en route from Phuket Thailand. Seas were wonderful calm and blue. Temps in this part of the world at this time are rather warm. Bill and I walked for two hours following the wrong route out of port in Colombo while Dawn went on a shopping and art tour we were not needed on. One Thousand local Tuk Tuks asked us if we wanted a ride and we actually

    The Petronas Towers otherwise known as the KL Towers for Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. The towers were the highest buildings in the world until 2004 when they were surpassed by Taipie 101 tower which we also visited in Taiwan. The towers at 451.9 Meters (1483'). They are currently the tallest twin towers in the world. KL traffic was heavy and chaotic but still a multiple lane toll road. We were dropped off at the huge Pavilion Mall near the base of the KL towers and had lunc

    Part of Sentosa beach from a different cable car Singapore Port is unique in terms of security. This is the only port that requires a full customs exit screening each time you leave. We have to present our passport in addition to ships card plus give our thumb prints. Every time you leave the ship. Had another temperature device set up to check to make sure we do not have fevers when getting off today. I guess if you do you get pulled aside for screening. Had a nice day

    After some overland travel adventures we arrived in Bangkok by Bangkok Airways and returned to our ship the Whisper at dock along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok a city of 12 million people that has 3.5 million cars drive into the city each day. Roads were a bit crowded. Thirteen passengers and Maria our ship guide made the overland trip to Cambodia. Our overland trip to see the Angkor Wat area started first with a confusion of buses then with a second confusion of check i

    Ho Chi Mihn City (Saigon) Vietnam

    Saigon or Ho Chi Mihn as it's called now I will use either here as the same. What a crazy place this is. A lot has changed since we were here about seven years ago and a lot has remained the same. Side note: The pool crew is a little late getting up today as we met them late last night just outside the ship at a little bar. Bought them some beer and when we left we left some money to buy them many more, good to be in good with the crew! Had a little argument with the ba

We pulled out of port in Hong Kong at 2:00 pm with continued overcast. On the way out John Fleming destination director talked about the high rises in Hong Kong. There are over 8,000 high rise buildings in Hong Kong, more than New York and more than anywhere. The haze dogged us until we were far enough out t

    From the Brighter Side

    I can't help but wonder what the China my grandparents saw looked like in the sixties when they traveled on their world cruise. That's of course assuming they got to go there at all. The image I had of this part of the world was heavily influenced by Hollywood, especially movies focusing on the early days of communist China. vibrant, metropolitan, colorful China today blew away those dated images in my head of everyone wearing grey and riding bicycles. The cityscape is mo
