Recharge Days & German Food!
Some days I just need to recharge or get stuff done; Sunday & Monday were that for me. I have been really affected by allergies in Ireland and German, tons of pollen, so needed a trip to pharmacy. I also was in desperate need of a Mani / Pedi and quite happy what I negotiated at OH LA LA! I also needed some computer time for work & personal finances, and I needed to do laundry. It was also not the best weather, spotty showers, so perfect days to chill and relax!
Thursday, October 23rd we arrived in the Port of Bitung, Indonesia to huge fan fare despite the pouring rain. Turns out we were the first cruise ship to visit this Port in a long time!
WOW!!! PALAU is the tropical Paradise I have been dreaming about! This is trip just reached a new level of OMG!!
Got to love a place that sells shirts saying " Where the heck is Yap? " Colonia ( population 3,100 ) is the Capital and Harbor town of Yap State ( population 11,600 ) one of four states in the Federated States of Micronesia. We are in the Pacific Ocean or Philippine Sea just north of the equator, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
