Now for the luxury part of our trip!!! Yeah! The Victoria line of river cruise ships is run by an American company, and hosted by an American manager. The operation is very well run and 100% first world. They run 7 ships and most were full but ours. This was great for us. There were 37 passangers and ~100 staff. Yeppers, apparently the following week they are going to be full. All of China is suffering somewhat of a slup in tourism according to most of the people that we have talked to. Most say since the Earthquake in May (which we have seen no evidence of) and the new strictor visa requirements are to blame. We arrived from Wuhan and had nice poorters carry our bags on and August and Evita immediatly had french fries and hamburgers. Yum.
Our state rooms were truly delux and the service was great. We enjoyed real western breakfast with cereal and everything and a Chinese banquet every night. Oh and HBO too. Yeah ha!
