China Day15 Yangtze Cruise

Cruised circa 100km overnight but very misty foggy today so limited views

Yangtze through the mist

Interspersed along the river are these towns/cities, many stemming from towns cleared/flooded by the dam construction

Another temple! Ghost temple is quite famous throughout China

Met other English speakers, Norwegian Mauritian, Pole and German. The guides were funny (!). All had mics and loudspeakers and tried to out speak each other. Our guide spoke English and mandarin but mandarin was 5mins intro followed by 10seconds of English!!!

A number of statues, not sure what this intends to mean

18 Punishments

Most interesting bit were the punishment dungeons

Buffet Linch included clams with frogs, duck intestine and chicken feet! Other options were available

In retrospect today was a travel day more than steering, the 3Gorges dam is 400km away

Tomorrow off to 3 Gorges itself

Captains bridge

Finished off the day with late night congee (rice porridge). I had savoury with pickles, Ying had sweet red rice congee
