We are a bit shell shocked after returning to a cold Brtain. I had just written quite a lot for you. Unfortunately my browser threw a wobbly and I lost the lot, but I'll be back.

I'll start with the list and fill in some details later or as requested. In order Heathrow London Jan 14 Air New Zealand to LAX (2 days there - hire car) Air New Zealand to Auckland (transfer) Air New Zealand to Christchurch, round the edge of South Island, NZ (2 weeks with hire car in S Island) Ferry from South to North Island up the middle of North Island (2 weeks with hire car) Boarded P&O Oriana Auckland Feb 13 then called at Sydney Oz Brisbane Oz (hire car for a day) Hamilton Island Oz (tender to shore) Shanghai (cold and awful) Hong Kong Halong Bay (Vietnam) Vung Tau (Vetnam) Singapore Port Kelang (Malaysia) - all drug traffickers - mandatory death sentence - note on landing card Penang (Malaysia) Phuket (Thailand) Chennai (Madras) (India) Cochin (India) very interesting Mumbai (Bombay) (India) Dubai (UAE) Muscat (Oman) Safaga (Egypt) Shar El Sheikh (Egypt) Suez and thro the canal Port Said - a couple of hours after dark Lisbon (Portugal) Vigo (Spain) Southampton UK disembark That is the list of places. I realised just before we went, that with my lack of mobility I wasn't going to be able to go anywhere, so I bought a small portable mobility scooter. I didn't use it much in NZ because we had a car, but it was invaluable on the ship and for going ashore, even tho the terrain in some places was really very unsuitable. When I can get round to it I am going to post a web page with details of exactly where the ship berthed at the various ports and a description of the quay etc for those in wheelchairs and with scooters. Peter Peter, how long did you stay in Hong Kong and how did you like it? My husband won a trip there when Holiday Inn first started their reward program and they were most generous. Lowerd the rewards the next year. We flew free and stayed at a deluxe Holiday Inn for a week. We really enjoyed it and had some good eating experiences. Ate Dim Sum one night.

My > husband won a trip there when Holiday Inn first started their reward program [quoted text clipped - 88 lines] > > > Peter Gwen, Apart from NZ where we stayed for a month, most of the stops were a single day. We loked Hong Kong (Kowloon) a lot. Although we were bussed into Kowloon, we mainly saw only the centre which we thought was great. Furthermore the people were very kind and helpful. For instance, if we met a steep kurb and had to lift the scooter up it, there was always somebody who would help without being asked. There were also street vendors and touts representing taylors etc, but these wern't a worry to us. We took a Star Ferry trip to the main island and back. The ferry was scooter friendly and, being over 60, we didn't have to pay. Regards Peter Peter, we stayed in Kowloon and took the ferry to the main island. We thought we knew which ferry to take back so we got on the ferry and wound up at the wrong dock. We had to walk about a mile to get back where we started and it started raining. We had to stop and buy umbrellas to keep from getting soaked. We laughed at ourselves even that afternoon. I couldn't believe the crowded streets and so many people.

Hong Kong was wonderful after Shanghai. Peter Peter, all I can say is wow. Glad you got to experience all that.  SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one > OK Folks.
