Shanghai 'Paris of the east' ... Well very true. After arriving on a very blustery & misty morning & locating our hotel we took to the streets, particularly the Bund. These buildings all originate from the 1930/1940's built in the British style & it feels like one is walking in London near St Paul's or even Europe. Being a Sunday it was very quiet until lunchtime then family groups & many many courting couples throng the streets plus of course ...

D day is here.. Checked in & enjoying a wine before boarding.

5 days to go .... Nearly packed :)

Well, planning.. Preparing & poised to depart on 25 May.
