The ship
is preparing to dock at the shipping container port of Phu My, Vietnam. This is just up the Mekong River Delta into a
side River – I think the Captain said the Saigon River but I am not
positive. As we came up the river this
morning, the sun was coming up behind some clouds with the huge container
cranes sticking up like huge birds.
Along the river were many fishing boats that appear to have people also
living on them. The ship had to blow its
horn a couple of times to ‘alert’ these small boats to move out of the way….I
can’t believe they were still sleeping?!!
Our ship
is docking at the pier next to the cruise ship Diamond Princess. This is the first time we have seen this ship
in our travels.
Today we
will be touring Ho Chi Minh City and then boarding a flight to Siem Reap where
we will stay at a hotel near Angkor Wat.
We are there a day and then return on a flight to Bangkok. We will tour the city of Bangkok on Wednesday
and then back to our home the Queen Elizabeth for the sail away.
