Around the World in 60 Days, Volume II

This is volume II of our recent travels. Volume I took us from the USA over Glasgow and Southampton where we began our cruise journey with the Holland-America Line to Singapore. Volume I details events including stops in Lisbon, Tangier, Malaga, Malta, Luxor, Muscat, Dubai, Goa, Mangalore, and the Indian Backwaters at Cochin.

This volume begins with the Andaman Islands and from there to Rangoon, Phuket Island, and Singapore where we ended with HAL, spent a week and flew to Hanoi where we were for eight days. En route home we stopped briefly in Tokyo, Hawaii, and Phoenix. Everywhere we are in search of a sense of place embodied in the character of the integrated cultural and physical landscape. Related observations are accompanied by photos and other illustrations.
