Our next port was also in Viet Nam, Nha Trang. It appears that this city is becoming a new tourist destination because of its beautiful beaches. Here again there are many, many motor bikes with a crowded market. I purchased a beatiful ladies' compac for $5, but Ann was able to buy 5 for only $6. So much for my bargaining ability.
A major highlight of the trip so far is Hong Kong. Purchases were made at the Jade Market for grandchildren. In Kowloon, we had a coffee at the Peninsula Hotel. On Hong Kong Island we had a great view from Victoria Peak. In Aberdeen we had lunch on a floating restaurant eating traditional Chinese food. Our ship changed positions through the Hong Kong harbor in the evening providing all on board to view a light show where many of the very tall buildings had impressive light displays. Hong Kong dollars were helpful but not needed. The US dollar is still a medium of exchange here.
