Yangtze River
... in a bar in Yangshou for free drinks. Unfortunately I've forgotten almost the entire repetiore of the Davies/Hagerty Experience and I'll be expected to sing. This will not go well... We finished the night playing a popular Chinese game with block pieces. I've completely forgotten the name but whenever Chinese gambling dens are shown in films it's this game they always play. The version we played was simple enough once you can count to nine in Chinese. It's pretty similar to ...

I watched about 5 episodes of the programme 'Lie to Me' with Tim Roth - never seen it ...

Long trip till 5am.
Another pot noodle for tea ...

Sailing through the 3 gorges - Dam!
... seeing tour of the Three Gorges. Here we were able to see the gorges close up and some ancient coffins left by the Ba tribe. We were also able to get a good view of a new walk way that had been built approximately 200 meters above the water on the cliff face.
