We got off the ship just before all this happened. Apparently a container full of insecticide exploded or caught fire and the whole port area was closed and evacuated. We're checked into the Sheraton which is full of pre and post Regent passengers milling around. I can see the ship from our room -- it moved to another pier further down the port. It was docked right in the area of the fire. It smells awful even here at the hotel, but it's getting better. According to the TV, the gas in the air isn't going to hurt anyone --it just smells awful. They're asking everyone to stay inside--although it smells just as bad inside. A while ago, they were handing out masks to people in the lobby. Needless to say--it's a zoo around here.
