Last night we enjoyed our last evening on board the Sapphire Princess and managed to exchange e-mail addresses and phone numbers with all the amazing people that we met. Something quite cute happened too....Dave and I were on the balcony at about 7:30 pm enjoying the warm evening and chatting about how good the holiday had been. We saw a small flock of birds flying around the aft of the ship, they were tiny little birds and were chirping at each other as they s...

Okay, what to tell you.... Ah yes, leaving Bangkok we were met with a scene close to an old horror film. David and I were stood on the balcony which, as you know, faces aft.

Order is restored again, the winds have gone and it was warm and partly cloudy today. There was a bit of a mess today with regards to tours and we we...

We will Miss Saigon.A not too early start of 8:30 am this morning for our trip to Saigon in Vietnam. We had booked an on our own tour which drove you the hour and a half to the city and then left you there. This is much better for us because we have time to do the things we really like, visiting markets and tasting the local food! One thing I noticed was a little difference in Phu My, the port we docked at today, was it is very much flatter than the other part...
