From the Malabar Hills in Mumbai, India, at night one catches a glimpse of “Queen Victoria’s Necklace.” This is Marine Drive, a curved roadway whose lights become the glittering “necklace.” The Bay View Bar was a good place from which to see this beautiful sight.
I went on the tour “Imperial China & the Yangtze River” with Go Ahead Tours, Oct. 5-22, 2007. Go Ahead’s hotels, riverboat and Chinese guide Jonathan all were very good. The buses, however, were not.
On two sailings of Oceania Cruises’ Nautica — to Thailand, Viet Nam and China, Jan. 19-March 5, 2007, and to Korea, China, Japan and Taiwan, March 16-31 — I have run into the same problem.
