10.More Yangtze and some.....



Feeling a bit like herded cattle, but go one we must.  Through the locks last night and then woken up at 0630 to see,us go through the second gorge.....in essence it is gorge shaped, with water inn the middle, like the Grand Canyon but in China.
The city of Wusan, another of the relocated towns..

We then got on a smaller ferry to see a smaller gorge....

One of the locals, in traditional boatman garb.

Showing themmarkmofbthenwater 175 metres above where it used to be.  In summer the water level drops about 30 m below this.
The sun...something we hadn't really seen for any length of time since arriving here 
Getting somewhat stir crazy, back onto the boat for more Bee Gees in the bar, the excitement can hardly be contained....the internet in the ship is less than optimum, so we can not communicate with the outside world....so we had a nap.  Pretty damn exciting..

Sunset on Yangtze.

After dinner, the crew put on a cabaret show....unlike the last cabaret show Nathalie took the author to, they all retained their clothing...very refined, graceful and well polished, We felel much cultured after this show.  Being bilingual in the explanation, it took twice the time. The drum dance was a bit interesting though....

10 ks yesterday.....but one if we were lucky today...
