This will be a short blog, has been a long day. It is 10.40pm, arrived at hotel 40 mins ago. Feeling pooped and we have another long day ahead of us tomorrow.
We left the river boat at 8.30am this morning. I enjoyed our time on the boat, was relaxing and interesting watching the world go by. Think Greg thought the 3 days were a bit long.

Number of Views :1367We woke in time this morning to go to the Tai Chi session on the top deck. It was an interesting half hour, mostly attended by westerners. I was surprised how flexible I was/wasn’t! Some movements were much easier to do than others, Deb thinks she might be a bit sore tomorrow morning, I’m still in denial. Continue reading

The start of the first full day on board the Century Sun.
Thankfully we didn’t wake much before 7am, it was a restless nights sleep but at least we slept in a little. We opened our curtains just in time to see the last of the sunrise, the light through the “fog/mist/pollution as reminiscent of a chinese painting. Continue reading

Road trip day, after a 6:30am wakeup call and breakfast we were on our bus to start our 2+hr trip to Suzhou at 8am.
For the first 30mins of the trip there were high rise apartments almost as far as you could see, it then changed to low rise and farmland, market gardens. Continue reading
Number of Views :808Our tour started properly today, after a bit of confusion around the meeting time, was it 8am or 9:30, no-one knows. Turns out it wasn’t 8am, so we went to breakfast instead. John, Georgie, John and Yvette arrived at our hotel from their epic flight from the US via Hong Kong at around 2am, Continue reading
Number of Views :968Woke a bit early, about 4.30am (it was 6am at home). We were down at breakfast at 7am, there was so much variety. Greg had a Chinese breakfast. Congee, dumplings, noodles, fried rice, veggie steamed roll and a baked bun. I had cereal. Was all very nice.

It took a bit over 15mins. We were out at the airport, checked in all the way to Shanghai, through security, of course I got bomb tested, again!, and we were standing out in front of the Qantas Club waiting for it to open at 4:50am.
