We have had 4 days in Dubai. This was the perfect place to end our journey. It is like an amusement park only spread out over the entire city. The first day we had booked a private tour. We arranged for the driver to pick us up from the cruise ship with all our bags.

We loved Singapore! So clean and modern and everything was very close to the ship. We only had two things we wanted to do as our time there was short. First we went to the Garden by the Bay. It was beautiful! We only had time for a couple of the attractions but we chose
Our first stop in Vietnam was Nah Trang. Small city and a lovely beach area. We didn’t do much here but it was lovely. Linda and I went to the spa and the guys went and found an ATM and then massages. I had the most wonderful facial and manicure – 2 hours of peace
