Naha, Okinawa to Keelung, Taiwan

23-26 January 2025
Several days of malaise, with occasional bursts of energy.

I opted out of my planned tour with Darla et al. from Naha. Wayne did an Okinawa Battle tour with the ship, which he enjoyed.

We entered Keelung harbor with a welcome from the fire tugs. It's a tradition for vessels on their first arrival and final departure from a port- and Sky had had many first visits on this voyage.

While I would have welcomed yet another full day of hanging out in the stateroom, it was not meant to be. We had to do face-to-face immigration for Taiwan. The entire ship has to clear before we could reboard. The procedure was quick, but then we didn't see a waiting area. A very nice young woman took us up to the second floor, where we were the only passengers for quite awhile. There were some kiddie gymnastics classes at the end of the area- the kids-3-4 year olds- were so cute. We were there nearly 4 hours.

I was glad to get back. We had planned on dinner at La Bistro - Wayne ended up doing a solo act.

We're overnight inport- and a new leg starts tomorrow.Read more
