At Sea

Day 2 of two days at sea … continuing across the South China Sea to the Philippines.

This morning we had face-to-face immigration formalities to complete with the Filipino authorities who came aboard in Nha Trang, Vietnam. What this means is that when we reach Manila tomorrow, we will be able to go ashore without any formalities to delay us.

Otherwise, today was a quiet day like yesterday.

We wrapped up our day with happy hour in Martinis, where we were hosted by friends Kadi and Brad and Geraldine & Thomas … they wanted to thank us for assisting them in getting back to the ship in Bangkok when their taxi driver had trouble finding the port. Having experienced a similar issue ourselves, it was our pleasure to help where we could.

The six of us then had a delightful dinner in the GDR.

Now to gird up our loins for a long run of ports. Luckily, there will be some late arrivals and early departures to help us catch our breath in between some of the stops … but I doubt there will be enough downtime to catch up on footprints. We shall see.En savoir plus
