The second of my adventures is now finalised -
below is a taster of where I'll be visiting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll be kicking things off at the Fullerton Hotel, Singapore next April
After a couple if days in the city I then join the relatively small
cruise ship Silver Shadow (only 380 passengers) for a
journey along the coasts of Thailand and Vietnam.
First stop is the beautiful island of Ko Samui off the coast of Thailand
From there we cruise along the Thai coast to Bankok,
below is a taster of where I'll be visiting.

From there we cruise along the Thai coast to Bankok,
where we stay overnight (!)
Next stop is Ho Chi Minh, the largest city in Vietnam, where
we again spend the night.
The next day we're off to Nha Trang, well known for it's
splendid beaches and scuba diving
The final stop before disembarking is Chan May, otherwise known as Da Nang, at the mouth of the Han River which flows into the South China Sea.
Following the cultural diversities of Thailand and Vietnam, I then crash firmly down to earth for a few days in Hong Kong, staying at the unassuming and understated Peninsula Hotel
For the final couple of weeks I head off to
Indonesia, and the incomparable island of Bali.
I'm flying Cathy Pacific which I feel will give me a marginally better
chance of actually arriving than if I were to take Bali's own Lion Air.....
Assuming I land safely, I start off in Bali's highlands,
staying a few nights at the Chedi Club in Ubud

stunning sunsets in the World
