We were briefed on the hospital followed by speeches by various Lions and than all the DG's did a presentation. The whole event lasted 2 hours.

Packed lunch was served on board the ferry to save time while we cruise for half an hour to the famous James Bond Island, village on stilts, floating football field. The whole tour ended at 4 pm and headed back to hotel to prepare of the Banquet Night.
