Yangtze – The Golden river

3 days on board a Yangtze cruise was EXACTLY what the doctor ordered after a few busy days Beijing, Chengdu pandas and emai shan budda not to mention the long train rides. We spent time lazing, drinking, eating, watching TV, enjoying each other’s company and of course enjoying the scenery of the Yangtze and 3 gorges.
This would also be a good time to mention the ping PJs there are people selling beer water or other necessities everywhere. Climbing a mountain, scaling a wall, rafting down the river, riding a bike, always will someone be there to sell you a cold, or at least only luke warm, beer. Pictured here is greg with a can of camouflage beer, perfect for when you want a beer but the missus dosen’t

Why is the gold river so rich? The awe-inspiring scenery? the trade routes? The cultural heritage? No, It’s cos it’s got two big banks... Haha – thanks 3 gorges dam guide.
