Langkawi Island
We arrived early morning 7am, we were up on deck just before dawn, it was really lovely coming into port. This is just a small island, lots of resort areas, beaches look nice. Vegetation is very tropical ,monkeys on the side of the road. Lots of tropical fruit trees. Our tour coach was not as nice as yesterdays one. We went quite a few k’s before we came to our first stop-a handicraft centre along with a museum. Next we went to the Cable Car station. Lots of people here, the queue was very long. What a ride, quite steep, the views were fabulous. At the top they had viewing platforms plus a walk over the sky bridge. This was quite long, Bob & Ross did the walk while Vanessa and I stayed at the lookout area. Later we made our way to the Rice Museum. This was not at all like the brochure told us it would be. They have a museum with all the old implements etc. A buffalo was tethered and they had models of rice workers scattered through the field. Outside the building they had stalls where they had cooked some food. We were allowed a taste, quite disappointing.
We then travelled back to the ship, time running short, but we made it. Not the last bus load. Got on board and had a lovely cuppa. The show we went to tonight was a singer, he had the loudest voice, Bob & I sat with our fingers in our ears for ¾ of an hour. We had a cappa then went to another show, an instrumentalist. He was really terrific, so made up for the other.
Sea day..Washing and ironing done early, then just a lazy day.
Tonight we went to a show, unfortunately we had seen this fellow before. After this we went to a ‘White Hot Indian Dance Party’ on deck 12,poolside. It was very well patronised, went till eleven. Clocks changed back tonight another hour, so it was still early..
Sea Day. Weather was blowing gustily and water had lots of white caps. Went to the lecture on Mumbai. Still not worried about missing it. Had a change announced today in schedule for abu dhabi, not calling in now, but they will take us there from Dubai. Casablanca is cancelled, we go to Gibraltar now instead. Oman port now changed to Salalah.
11 June Cochin Port
Arrived approx 9.30am. Looks like t will be a fine day after the showers earlier, plus they said yesterday that there was a low up here, so the people getting off to do their Taj Mahal trip will be happy. Must get this away today, Mumbai tomorrow- two ports we are not getting off.Our trip proper will start after that...
Margaret: can't remember how to send the pics.Help
lol I put a big explanation into the email. but I'll do a short one here. The easiest way is to have your pics downloaded onto your computer. When you are doing your post you will see a small picture, right beside the link icon, click on the picture icon, browse for your picture - find it on your computer, upload the pic, then select it.
ReplyDeleteWhere are your pics? Are they on your camera? If you don't have an automatic download program from your camera, go into the DCIS (something like that) folder on your camera. Hope this helps.
Sounds like you are having a great time.
