The first half of today was a free day for the students... lots of individual group explorations. We came together this evening to go on the Seafood Market Dinner Cruise. We took the boat above to a seafood village and market on west side of the harbor. There were many little shops selling seafood. The pictures show many of the varieties of seafood being sold... in fact, this was the first time I have seen an actual live geoduck. Once we walked through the seafood market, we then had a nice seafood dinner. Another walk through the market on the way out and then the boat ride back to Kowloon, where we started.
Not sure I will do this again on future trips.... on our way out, our guide told me that 80% of the seafood we see is imported from Australia.... The fish market dinner tour is a bit of a tourist trap/scam.... oh well, they got us!
On the ride back, we got a quick heavy rain.... it was just enough to saturate the air. The students are starting to realize the next week in Hanoi is this same humidity coupled with a temperature increase and

Good night
Great Boat. Looks a little topheavy, I must say. Seafood looks fresh and suggestive. Ha. Looks like you're staying fed pretty well. Humidy is good for the skin, but pretty hard to take when you're not used it. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteYour "fish from Australia" story reminds me of Lincoln City. All local fish markets, from Safeway to the small individual fish stalls, get their "fresh fish" from a supplier out of Portland.
