Cruise

The flight from Xian was delayed by an hour or so, so there was less time to see Chongqing than planned, that said the guide managed to pull together a quick tour of the old town - full of facts about this small city of c 33 million people. Boarded around 6pm and boat left around 10pm.

Next few days are spent cruising down Yangtze, with some included and some optional excursions. This is the relaxing part of the trip. The boat holds around 300 passengers and has normal range of services, and plenty of additional sales opportunities. Within 30 mins of getting on, i was offered opportunity to:

- upgrade cabin
- upgrade restaurant
- buy the 3 day wifi package
- opt for the cheap laundry option
- opt for the "all you can drink" package
- sign up for the optional tours

Passengers appear to be c 75% overseas tourists, with a significant level of American accents to pick from.
