    Had a great time in Kagoshima.  Instead of taking one of those “Panoramic”, O-excursion’s, Jim and I did our own thing...

    Purchased an all-day unlimited ride city transit pass, good on all the tram’s, and city owned transit buses (not good on some privately owned bus routes).

    It even included an 80 minute sightseeing bus, which stopped at all the popular tourist attractions.  It had a recorded tour, in Japanese and English, describing each attraction.  You could hop off and on where ever you wished.  We saw some shipmates using it.  You did have to walk about 20 minutes from the pier to reach the nearest stop, or take anothy bus or taxi there...

     

    One of our stops was the Kagoshima-Chou, main railway station.  We took a ride on the Shikansen “bullet train” just to the next station for lunch, and back, just for the experience.😎

     

    We stopped at a music store where Jim showed his skills on the practice drum set

    Jim also had time to visit some local police...

     

    We did a little shopping, and then rode some old tram cars back to the pier.

    The all day pass only cost 800 yen...

     

    ”Mission accomplished”🙂

    Your world, your way.  Thank you for your comments.  Could not agree more.  Photos provide a glimpse, a tiny aperture into the experience that awaits.  Surprise yourself.  Capture your personal memories and share your passion; pilot boats, food, culture, scenery or in the moment.  If you are continuing around the world on Insignia, please post your photos.  As pop idols Chad and Jeremy said “but that was yesterday, and yesterday’s gone”

    See_More out (until Regatta in August)

  3. Well here I am sitting looking out my window at blowing snow and listening to the roar of 100 km wind gusts! On my beloved Insignia there is a debate re special treatment or not for RTW cruisers! I would give anything to be on a segment short or long and of course a RTW would be the trip of a life time! Be grateful and enjoy every minute of your trip .. It may never happen again! Love the pictures, and positive comments! Please keep sharing those and be happy!Carpe Diem!!

    Sitting here in the Horizon Lounge, after finishing Big O point activities.  We did them indoors account wind and rain.

     

    I have to say we have been Blessed with great weather, the entire cruise.  The port days have been great, and the worst weather on sea days, where it doesn’t matter much.🙂

    Continue to enjoy your adventure and the one thing you can't control is the weather!!
