Phuket - Thailand

Well after two and half sea days we docked in Phuket at lunch time today an hour late.

It's about 1900 miles from Colombo to Phuket and the Captain has been flat all the way but against a strong tide.

Coming into Phuket

Not much to report except it has been very restful and today, we were supposed to go on an excursion but it was cancelled, the tour operator went broke.

Thought about getting a taxi to do some sightseeing, but after spending a few minutes up top decided the heat and humidity was too much, so we stayed on the ship.

 This is called relaxing when there's no one else on board.

This is King Farouk and his bride. Some work to do when we arrive home!

This morning the Seven Seas Society had a brunch for all the members who had spent some time on Regent which was very nice indeed.

Went pier side where there were some local market stalls and Tony bought a few polo shirts for next to nothing.

Tomorrow we are in Penang, returning after a visit many years ago, in fact it was our first overseas holiday way back in the eighties. We have a busy schedule
