2009 China 3 Rivers Gorge Riverboat

This is a long ride on the Yangzee River in a Russian built hydroplane local boat. We had a six hour tour, a heart stress test and a kung fu movie marathon.

It starts with a massive misunderstanding between us an the taxi drivers and almost ends on the steps of death.

That was a long day but a spectacular one

They are everywhere.
You see the occasional pagoda.
The scenery is a welcome relief from Kung Fu movies.
Lots and lots and lots of building going on.
220 feet of depth stick.
Make sure you build your house above the water line.
Small towns dot the river. Really small ones.
We're going fast enough to lose a hat.
Small craft abound on the river.
So do big tourist boats on a 4 day crusie.
