Not far on the chart from Singapore, We have got sheet lightning and rain, it's early morning balmy, humid and lovely out on the back deck having my cup of tea al fresco with no sand flies or mossies , yaaaay.
Can't do my aquacise, preparations are being made for a crossing of the equator with a deck party later on in the morning, around the pool area.
The entertainment manager has already been in touch (by sea phone of course) with King Neptune to make sure of an appearance.
Remembering back to when I first crossed the equator at the age of 6 people got plastered with goo and a Brussel sprout stuffed in their mouth before being dunked in the pool. It was a hoot.
Our port lecturer is a lovely lady with a wealth of good usable knowledge and surprisingly was stationed here with the embassy during the Vietnam war, so will be giving a talk on that as a stand alone lecture other than her informative port talks, which thankfully are not confined to shopping.
As we are on a small ship we will be docking close to the city of Saigon or Ho Chi Minh, with a free shuttle, unlike a previous cruise on a larger ship where the journey was an hour or so. I saw a bit of the countryside tho, flat, rice fields.
I understand the Ocean Princess has been sold and may be doing more the Asian routes so our favourite will be no longer in the Princess fleet.
Will add more to this as the day unfolds..............
I am sure that I will be well educated in reading your adventures. Go create havoc on the ship, that will keep everyone on there toes. Have fun.
