Rare mysty Posted March 23 Author #2477 Share Posted March 23 Yesterday we docked in Singapore at 1:00 pm. We had booked an excursion called Sights and Sound By Night which departed at 7:00 pm. First stop was Marina Bay for the Lights and Sound show. The music was from various operas. It was spectacular. Next came a river cruise on the Singapore River..... After the cruise we went to The Fullerton Hotel for a Singapore Sling. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted March 24 Author #2484 Share Posted March 24 Today was a sea day en route to Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. We did a Food & Wine Pairing in La Dame ($125 pp). It was awesome. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted March 26 Author #2485 Share Posted March 26 Yesterday we were in Kuching, Sarawak, Borneo. For the first time on this adventure, COVID testing reared its ugly head. All passengers and all ship staff and crew had to have their temperature taken before the ship could be cleared by officials. This resulted in delayed departures for excursions. We went on the Sarawak Cultural Village tour. It was a very good tour. There was an excellent cultural performance at the end of the tour. Today is a sea day. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsWaldo Posted March 26 #2486 Share Posted March 26 I was one of the 100 or so that headed to the orangutans. Positive was we actually saw some, negative was sooooo many people as there were several other buses plus those in cars. Quick wrap lunch I jumped onto the shuttle into the deserted centre of Kuching. Kuching is the city of cats. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted March 29 Author #2488 Share Posted March 29 Today we were in Ho Chi Minh City. I ventured out with Myster for the Saigonese Coffee Culture tour. The first bit was a challenge. Walking and stopping in the heat to listen to the guide over the roar of bikes and traffic. First place we entered was not much of anything. Second place had great coffee. Third place had biter drip coffee. Lunch was very good. Pictures to follow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted April 2 Author #2493 Share Posted April 2 Yesterday Myster headed out solo for the Ancient Hue and Perfume River excursion. I canceled. The tour was rated extensive and it was 8.5 hours long. The heat and humidity would have done me in. Hue is also known as the Imperial City of the Nguyen Emperors. It is home to treasures from the last ruling family of Vietnam. Photos from Myster's tour..... Dragon boat on the Perfume River to the restaurant for lunch.... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry JP, I'm with Mysty: everything about this cruise lately shouts HHH (the famous NY summer forecast: "hazy, hot and humid"). I don't leave the house then, and I wouldn't leave the ship either. I'd be sitting with Mysty at the (air-conditioned) bar, toasting her with a G&T! 😀 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare highplanesdrifters Posted April 2 #2496 Share Posted April 2 @mysty Oh my! Just off the Cloud and finally catching up. What a grand adventure you're having. Loving all the posts. I'm with you on the HHH. AC & GT! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted April 2 #2497 Share Posted April 2 Unfortunately these fascinating places, so different to what we westerners are used to, are mostly very hot and humid all the year round, so it is hard to find the right time to make the most of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkismom Posted April 2 #2499 Share Posted April 2 I know, after Rio, several weeks ago, I really can't handle HHH, 85 is my max for temperatures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueSeraSera Posted April 3 #2500 Share Posted April 3 I had a recurring work assignment in Malaysia for several months each over several years. Learned a lot, and almost got used to the HHH. Of course, starting from Richmond helped with that. My guess is Myster is doing the same thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
