We played a game "how well do you know me?" (that my girlfriend Sherrie brought me last visit) to pass the time. When we arrived in Port Vila we had to clear customs in Vanuatu and the 5 of us totally confused the officials there! We got passed from agent to agent but finally explained the whole Ship concept, as our residence, to the chief agent and he processed our entry paperwork. We then hunted down a taxi to take us to the Hotel in Port Vila. Below are shots at our Hotel MG COCOMO right on the Emten Lagoon.
Final leg back to ship - flight in the afternoon - Port Vila to Luganville Vanuatu.
Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali , a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the "Destroyer of Evil" .
Other residents had a great experience at Singapore's Food Playground on prior visits, so we wanted to try it out! Our first day in Port, twelve of us signed up for a fun afternoon, where we got to enjoy our creations as a yummy lunch. Front row (L to R) is Ellie, Rick, their visiting friend, Sue, Christy and Angela. Back Row - Me, Bosco, Delia, John, Terri & Lori.
We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
