Today we cruise through the Qutong gorges. Unfortunately it is very murky and has started to rain. Never mind...we'll enjoy it anyway!
We shot lots of images in the gloomy weather and are thinking they may come out ok. The colors come through richly.
The afternoon we cruised down a relatively narrow tributary of the Yangtze. We first took a medium sized water taxi and then transferred to a cedar boat that has been used for century's by the locals to transport all kinds of goods. Since they flooded the river, the need for their services has significantly diminished. They boat men now make their living taking tourists along the river and demonstrating their prowess in river travel. We only got a little bit wet.
We arrived back on board and headed for the bar and a few drinks before the Captain's farewell dinner. This was a traditional Chinese affair where dishes were served on the lazy Susan and rotated from person to person. Too much, but fun.
Enjoy!
Cheri & John
