PORT OF YOKOHAMA AND COMMODORE PERRY

Best as I can tell, nothing much has changed about the world at large.  Also, no newsworthy items from Japan.  No threatening typhoons. This is important because we board the Diamond Princess as soon as I complete this blog today. I wrote about our day in Yokohama yesterday.  Last night, just another enjoyable visit to the Sheraton Club Lounge. Sunset. Sunrise this morning. We were warned that the Diamond Princess, when it returns to Yokohama this morning at 6:30AM, would dock at a different pier.  So I searched. The Diamond Princess must be the one to the left.  Yokohama Port is not as complicated as Sydney Harbor, where we had a difficult time getting to the Seabourn Odyssey earlier this year. The  Port of Yokohama  opened to foreign trade in 1859.   Osansbashi Pier has ten piers with 24 berths and opened to international passengers in 2002. The MS Asuka II is home ported here.  I remember enjoying three cruises when it was called the Crystal Harmony.  The conversion occurred in 2006
