The ship docked at Cam Ranh and it’s 1 hour away from Nha Trang…

It’s really raining hard in the morning

Today instead of ship excursion.. We were on our own and found an on the spot assembled group tour of 12 on a mini bus…. On tours like these, the drivers usually don’t speak English but they took you to the major attractions for a fraction of the cruise ship excursion, which is fine with us

Other random street scene

Lunch at local pho restaurant

…. And then tried on the Vietnamese long dress that I finally found for $10.00

Overall, another successful outing on our second port in Vietnam

It started with a very gloomy morning…. They said it’s going to rain 100% for sure… And we are glad it did… Otherwise it’s too unbearably hot and humid….. The whole city felt like a big Sauna and it’s really baking……

However we were excited to be here in this very characteristic country and historic city… We joined the ship’s excursion and it’s a full day excursion…. Lots of getting in and out to see places and take pictures. 

Vietnamese people seem to all have a calm and sweet demeanor but they are also tough and strong and were able to fend off multiple genkhis khan’s mongols invasion and of course won many wars including with the US 😉

Sea days are always enjoyable…… Did the morning zumba, afternoon flash mob, wine tasting and then hang out with friends in crooners bar and listen to Tony Delaney singing… Its like world cruise all over again

We originally planned to go to Pattaya for this port stop but someone hijacked us to join them on a local tour to Bangkok that’s missing two people… Which is perfect!!

First stop is the Talingchang floating market which is everything I have looked for at this stop … Lots of street food, perfect vibe… Had the best tom yang soup noodles 😋

And then it’s multiple stopping at Emperial palace, temples…. We didn’t go inside because we did not dress properly and do not want to rent cloth

Rough 40 min shuttle boat ride back and forth…. But we love our own self guided island tour of Ko Samui

Thailand people are sooo friendly 🤩

R really love sea days especially when Rafa her favorite crew member was leading the zumba class….. Rafa’s zuva was high energy and well coordinated….. Best zumba class!! And then there was a flash mob by a guy name Anthony…. We are going to do uptown funk, beat it, single ladies and gannan style

The destination expert on the ship Jase Walsh is cool!! Love his passion for traveling and life

10/17ths  performer Monique montez’s performance is sultry and stylish

10/18ths production performance spectacular is spectacular with Chicago vibe and bugle boy in company b

Always great to be back to the place I grew up and with P…. Singapore is a glorious garden city and gets more and more modern and metropolis by the year…

We did a little bit of sight seeing by the Marine bay, MBS and Merlion. The light and water show by the MBS is memorable

Also tried a lot of food that I missed and craved 😋

Met with dear childhood friends, enjoyed intimate high tea, happy hours and epic meals

Finally!! We finished circumvent the world in 111 days.. felt fatigue physically but enriched spiritually. Thanks to all the wonderful people we met on this journey, all those beautiful places we went, gorgeous weather everywhere.

We learned a little bit more about the world and the people on it and we were intrigued and inspired . Can’t wait to check out more in the future… Quite a few of our ship mates already booked the 2026 world cruise and encouraged us to do the same… We want to wait and see…. Let this one settle in first…. Thanks to everyone that follow us around the world🫶👋💫

A whirlwind last day… Many goodbyes were said amongst shipmates and crews…. We were both making our rounds through our various activities to say our final goodbyes…

Later it’s the farewell variety show where the entertainers gives a final spectacular performance and the officers came out to say goodbye

Other than that we spent the day doing: packing, zumba, ukulele, ping pong, trivias, feasting and socializing… As busy as ever
