defrogOr it will be soon. The ship is on its last voyage before retirement after 22 years of annoying the whaling industry and protesting nuclear energy.
It’s now in Hong Kong for a few days, and they’ve conveniently parked the ship next to the Disco Bay ferry pier in Central.
They’re offering tours of the ship starting today, but unfortunately I have to get ready for a flight to Barcelona tonight. It wasn’t open to the public yesterday when I took the pics.
I’d have liked to go onboard. Whatever one thinks of Greenpeace, the Rainbow Warrior II is something of an icon in the recent history of sociopolitical debate on ecology and environmental issues. So it would have been cool to check it out.
And yes, it’s off to Barcelona for me. I’ll be there for a week writing about telephones again. Posts may become sporadic from this point on.
But I do owe you a Valentine’s Day podcast. That’s coming soon.
Meanwhile, I recommend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
