JL 31 landing at BKK on Wednesday.

The next day was a sea day. Pretty cold and a bit of a swell meaning the pool wasn't that popular. Lunch at Kaiseki. Not that far from the coast. That night was the Venetian Society party. First our Polish Captain and then the Future cruise Consultant aka Venetian society host...

Now we are sailing out of Busan.

We sailed quite late so I was able to capture the changing lights on the bridge.

That night was a casual night. I decided a bit of decorum was warranted. Mrsdrron had the foie gras and I the pho. Mrsdrron had the rump steak and I the chicked Aloo. She then had the coconut rice pudding but I stuck with the ginger and kaffir lime creme brulee.

People camping at the port.

A couple of shots whilst waiting for the shuttle bus. their bus system seems well orgaised. On the main streets ofte bus lanes in the middle of the road with bus stations usually at an intersection. Then back to the ship and a walk around the top deck after golf. Several ship building yards.

Having had a Proven RSV infection at the age of 71 I can say it doesn't necessarily cause severe disease in older adults. I had symptoms for 48 hours only and continued to work. The vaccines are only of recent origin. The only one currently available for older folks in Australia is produced by...

Views from JL 31 over Thailand approaching BKK.

The lead up to the Korean war. Outside and back to the bus to go to the fish market.

I have fallen a long way behind. We were in Busan on the 9th april. We are now in Bangkok being pampered.
