Well,
today we BOTH have the scoots. The tour is a late-morning one to
Shibaozhai Pagoda, a 12-story pagoda and Buddhist temple on another
island in the river. This is a really cool place, and we quite
enjoyed it, but it was also very much an exercise in bathroom
management. A couple of very close calls.... The only way out there
is over a suspension bridge about 500 metres long which is an
experience all on its own!
 |
| Yes, there really is a staircase going up this thing! |
 |
| Come on Steve, you can do it sweetheart! Maybe. |
 |
| The easy way down the back. Where’s Gollum? |
 |
| A very pretty walk goes all around the cliffs. |
Tonight
was the Captain's Dinner, which everyone dresses up for and it was
very nice. Deb wore a lace jacket she bought at the market and she
looked great in her new outfit.
Our table by now are old friends and we had a very
good time and drank too much wine. Eventually we ended up in Ishtar
and Alka's room and finished off their Bombay Saphire as they
couldn't take it on the plane tomorrow. After all, what are friends
for?
