morning and evening departures


The Kaio Maru and a crane barge along with the Sofie Maersk (one of the largest container ships in the world) at Shimizu Port.


Voyage into the unknown…


I can eat just about anything and it would be fair to say I’m quite adventurous with food but some off the food that was served up here was a bit weird. I ate it all though except the Tuna eye ball’s!

Back to this restaurant tonight (this was last Saturday) to sample some more exotic seafood.


Happy New Year from Japan

This is the scene I see from my cabin window. (Scan’s from a locally developed and printed film) Very nice but a little cold for me…

Wishing you all (y’all) a very Happy, Healthy and Wealthy New Year.
