2010/09/14 – Departure from Shanghai (officially at 11:00 – but it became a lot later)
2010/09/15 – Water…water…water…more water.
2010/09/16 – Arrival in Osaka (at around 09:00)
The sky looks kinda dark downriver.
Just another rainy day in Shanghai.
Finally! Down the river we go…
Our 4-bunk 1st Class Cabin.
Our cabin – early the next morning.
Not much going on out here – only water and ships…like the Evergreen…
…the Bulk Peace…
…and the Super Challenge.
And if those weren’t weird enough…here comes the Shanghai Highway.
Lunch had some…interesting looking fruit.
By now knew we knew a lot of our fellow travellers (it’s not like we had much else to do). Here’s us with Hongfu who shared our cabin…
…Maude and Vincent,…
…Lena,…
…Sam,…
…Maiko,…
…and Akira.
There were a couple more — but I’m having trouble with the names (sorry!). Guess I’m getting old.
Lots of people on deck for the sunset.
But again the weather wasn’t going to play nice.
Later that evening Japan came into sight…and internet access became available.
One more interesting breakfast…
…and then it’s time to queue for another fever check before disembarking.
