Hi Rita,

I am currently on Cathay Pacific on my way to Hong Kong, and need a couple of days to decompress from my China tour -- but I will write a very detailed summary of my thoughts to you in a day or two.

I do want to thank you, however, for your assistance and your thoughtful gift. Your help throughout has been very much appreciated.

best regards,

Regards,

Dear Jack,

Here is a feedback

On the 3rd when we arrived everything run smoothly. There was a girls waiting for us at the airport exit, as told before on phone and SMS wearing a yellow shirt, so easy to recognize.

The drive to the boat was also ok, no problems, it took around 40 minutes. When arriving at the harbor somebody took our luggage and went down to the boat. After registration, all easy, we could board. This was around 3.30 pm, so still quite early.

Merry, the responsible „Concierge“ was friendly and helpful, she guided as to an executive suite on the 5th deck, as promised from you, I think it was 506. Our luggage was already there, the room was as expected.

She asked if we would be interested in a bigger room, as there was still one free. She told us that she wants to show it to us, it was the celebrity suite 588, finally we took it.

The dinner was good while we were running out (it was buffet dinner).

On the 4th we had a stop at Baitao, the 816 engineering scenic area. This one was not very interesting for us. It‘s just an enormous cave, at least it was not as hot as outside…

The lunch was a la carte, and it was the best meal on board. In the evening we went to a show in Zhongxian,“The Beacon of the Three Kingdoms. Even we didn‘t understand a world it was a great and nice show.

On the 5th, after passing the Qutang Gorge, we had a stop in Wushan. There was a nice road trip a long the Wu Gorge with nice spots on the top of the mountain. After lunch on board, we went to the mini three gorges, first with a smaller boat the then with very small boats. Ok, but the last very small boat was not really necessary in our opinion. Back on board we drove the Wu Gorge in our boat.

On the 6th we arrived at our final destination in the morning. We had to be ready with our luggage at 7 am, after talking to Merry I could handle out 7.30…

Later, when we came from breakfast, the luggage was still standing in front of our cabin, this could be optimized…

Only later we found out, that there was a possibility to take the boat lift at 3 Gorges Dam. It was not communicated to us, I would have taken it. So we went by Bus to look to the dam from quite far away…

At 11.30 we went to dinner in Yichang, this was nice again.

Summary

It was a nice trip and we enjoyed it. We were happy that we choose the right suite, so we could have nice views to the Gorges from our balcony.
