Today was a relaxing day. After breakfast we went to the bar on the fifth floor to see two videos about the Yangtze River. It showed the places we visited on this cruise.
Then a little while later we went up to see the ship’s bridge. That was a bonus tour because we had bought all three extra excursions off the boat. I was surprised at the large size of the bridge.
Then we went to lunch. After that, we disembarked the ship to go on the Ghost City Excursion. I took my trekking poles this time because I knew there would be lots of steps. There were more than 600 steps to climb. The steps were much easier to climb than they were yesterday without the trekking poles!

This evening was the Farewell Banquet. We sat in groups of ten at four round tables in the dining room. The servers brought dish after dish after dish of Chinese dishes. The cooks went to a lot of trouble to give us such variety. They have served us high quality food during the entire cruise.
