Mar 15, 2010 - Beijing.

The first photo is Tuanjiehu Bei Kou. In the 5th photo I've got our living room and in the corner there's a cold water dispenser because water in Beijing is not safe to drink from the tap unless it's boiled. ... On Sunday it was snowing really hard and out of the window Suzanna spotted a car that was white but the windows were totally covered with snow and the only bits that weren't covered with snow totally were the tyre.The first photo is Tuanjiehu Bei Kou.

Mar 10, 2010 - 6 Days At Sea!

Wednesday 3rd March – Day 53 Today was a general day at sea other than there was “Mutiny on the Bounty” for real – The Captain announced today that in Hong Kong we are to berth in a Container Port and not the Ocean Terminal as advertised, we won’t bore you with the details or justification, suffice to say that there was definitely a strong undercurrent, which quickly turned into confrontations at the Main Reception, for the Captain to explain personally to a very angry group (no they were not clutching ropes and talking of the Main Brace!) there was also a petition doing the rounds. ... Friday 5th March – Day 55 We had a superb sky ray today see the photograph, it’s amazing the sights you see at sea! Another Captains update announcement today as we think he has been getting some stick over our berthing area in Hong Kong, it is the topic of conversation around the place, so he was very authorative and actually said in no uncertain terms, that ultimately it was his decision whether we stopped at all in Hong Kong. ... All for now before we arrive in Hong Kong on Thursday. ...

Mehow (sounds like me-ow) to Shanghai, Welcome to Shanghai Day 1,2,& 3. ... Really, our 2 days of Shanghai (& 3 nights) should have been broken up to 4 nights and 5 days, even if we had to omit a port of call. ... Journal entry & photos are exciting as the Shanghai experience was. ... Day 2 of our Shanghai experience started in the early morning hours of 07:00 for room service breakfast to sleepy eyed travelers (some travelers stayed in bed until 08:00) for our early morning readiness (by 11 am) for : SHOPPING! Ellie & Debbie (more Debbie than Ellie) had the unsatiated desire to shop, shop, shop. ... I knew both of them wanted to shop but neither were ready for the onslaught of vendors & hawkers that we had experienced on our previous visit to Shanghai. ...
