Often we are greeted at the dock with signs welcoming our ship. At Busan it was a bit different. This was a large mosaic piece of art work welcoming us.

Our most significant stop on our excursion was at the Busan Tower. Unfortunately the weather was so overcast that a white building against a white sky didn’t look good. So I took a beautiful photo from the web. The statue just behind the flower clock was the most famous Korean General in there wars against Japan. The stories sounded much like the history of France and England. Many wars over many generations. Then there is a Buddhist temple just at the right of the photo. And the tower. The tower is just a vantage point about 120 meters high with views at the top to look down over the city. It has no other purpose than to encourage tourism. But it does pretty well at that.

There is also a great looking dragon statue at the base of the tower.

So while we walked around we found three of the Viking servers that know us well. The young lady on the left is Xiamin, the next is our good friend Mengfei, then one I don’t remember her name. The funny part was when Xiamin ran up to me to get a hug. She ran so fast at me that I almost fell over backwards. It was hilarious.
