We arrived in Barbados this morning!
For the next several week we will be crawling through the Caribbean. Below is map and list of Islands & Ports where will dock. Most islands have a 2 day stay - some longer and today and tomorrow just one. Unfortunately, we are hearing reports of island flooding in Grenada - they got hit pretty bad with storms. Today off for a stroll in town before hitting the beach!
Last night we had a welcome to Caribbean party on pool deck - was supposed to come as a pirate or in island wear.
BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.
The Port of Singapore is massive and thus deserving of it's own post!
Right next to the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay is the Cloud Forest Dome .They sell the entry tickets as a joint package. The Cloud Forest currently has a special exhibit, Jurassic World The Experience incorporated into the forest.
