Ruminations from the Silver Muse.

Now to the church which started off as a Catholic church but is now an Anglican church.












Grave of the founder of the church.

You do not seem overly enthusiastic about the food onboard the Silver Muse @drron. Is it below the usual standard you expect on this line, or just generally not to your taste?

Take shoes off inside church?

 

[drron]

Still fine in general but for the first time I feel there hs been a drop in quality.
We did have the CEO of Siversea and a few of her senior execs aboard for a few days on this segment who did have a Q&A session whilst aboard so I was able to state that too her. Another passenger raised it and got a non answer so I provided examples to rebut that. So a promise that there will be no cost cutting when it comes to food.
Also a few lapses of service but that is not surprising as there is about 40% new staff since the pandemic but they are now back to a full complement of crew so that should improve.

Our next stop was for coffee. A very interesting coffee place with an art gallery. Some traditional items.


And the actual coffee place done up as a movie studio.

 

[drron]

Absolutely jumping and the coffee wasn't bad. You could also get some bakery items,










I wasn't brave enough to try the Horong sausage.

I now went outside to view their quirky collection with some lovely flowers.

I then walked around the surrounding streets before getting back to the bus.

Not everything was beautiful.


Finally off to another market.









Lots of large turnips.

 

[drron]

Lots of varieties of kimchi.


As you can see they offered samples. who was I to refuse. I found out that this one was made with those turnips.

Now to the outside market. How many chillies do you want?

 

[drron]

And I found out that I don't like black gingseng.

 

[drron]

The last of the market.












And more evidence of autumn.


A long drive back to the ship. Rice harvest was still happening.
