This book is a photographic diary of a voyage on the Queen Victoria from Bali through the China Sea to Vietnam and Hong Kong which is the continuation of the ships voyage after she left Sydney. It is the companion book to “Across the Pacific to Bali “. It was still hot as we continued our voyage cooling down slowly after we left Vietnam.
Many of the ship’s passengers took an interest in my activity as they observed me patiently scanning the ocean and the sky as they passed by on their regular laps of the promenade deck. Some were surprised to hear and learn what could and had been seen and others keen for instant identification of anything we saw. It wasn’t just the life at sea though that was to be of interest; the excursions and the places we visited during the voyage provided more photographic opportunities. My lasting memories of the two Cities we visited, Ho Chi Minh and Nha Trang was of the colourful interesting landscapes, the vast numbers of scooters, and the air pollution.
I have not limited this book to just the sea life, and have included material from our ports of call which I think will be of interest to you. Please be aware that the electronic versions of the book require a suitable size screen to be able to read the text and captions clearly and obtain a better previewing experience.
