Photos from our Nov/Dec. 2012 trip: Flight to Bangkok via Seoul, tour from there to port where we boarded the Diamond Princess for 18 days from Thailand to Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Darwin, Port Douglas/Cairns, and Sydney. Home just before Christmas!
Settling in
A typical local boat
It seemed a bit strange viewing it from our balcony over breakfast.
Motorscooters everywhere in Vietnam, and the riders wore facemasks to avoid breathing the fumes.
The former presidential palace in Ho Chi Minh City, once Saigon.
The beautiful cathedral
Enjoying a great lunch in a noodle restaurant...slurp.
Downtown new Saigon is like any big city
We toured a lacquerware factory and brought a piece home for our Christmas tree
It was terribly hot and humid though, and a cold beer was required to get through that day
