Pataya seaside, Vietnam



Seems to be a very popular tourist attraction, here in Pataya.

more from Hong Kong



In Hong Kong, we walked to the Intercontinental Hotel at night to have a Chinese dinner. I had a hot sour soup and steamed fish; both were delicious. The bright lights were along the way. We also witnessed the "light show" across the water, where all the tall buildings have a display of lights that change constantly. Not spectacular, but nice. We were at the market in the morning, and saw this display in the meat counter. The wishing tree is where one hangs a wish, and hope it comes true!

Finally! I took this one for Heidi !

Sorry about the repetition! I had difficulty remembering which photo was which, and I couldn't find out how to eliminate the duplicatiion

Crystal Serenity and colorful flowers

This view was taken on the way back to the ship after a tour. There is a tremendous amount of böuilding going on in the area of the docking area. It looks like there will be new streets and new homes, eventually. This view of the ship shows the port side, where my stateroom is. I am in the middle of the ship (front to back) and on the 9th floor. The promenade deck is #7. For next year, this room was no longer available, so I booked one a few doors to the rear, also on the port side.
It's a great way to spend the winter! and many of the same people plan to return.
