I got up early so I could join the Tai Chi class and
found out how incompetent I was. Someone compared Tai Chi to Yoga which makes
sense. They are both gentle and involve
stretching. After the class I headed
down for breakfast and then headed to check my e-mail. I then ran back to my room to get my hat and
I was ready to head out for our ride up the G-ddess Stream which is off the Wu
Gorge. I really enjoyed the G-ddess
Stream ride. The scenery reminded me of
the Grand Canyon and it was very relaxing.

After we got back, I joined some of my traveling
companions at the front of the ship. I
found a very lovely shady place on deck 5 in the front of the ship. We cruised past the city of WuShan. Then it was time for lunch; so I headed up to
deck 6 and wound up talking with some people for a while longer than I
intended. After resting in my cabin for
a while, I headed back up to deck 5. It
was really too hot so sit outside. We
pulled into Fengjie where there is an optional tour of the White Emperor City,
which I was advised not to take since I wouldn’t understand since I don’t have
the background. Some of the women
convinced me to go up to the gym to work out.
I lasted 15 minutes on the bicycle.

I then headed back to my cabin to shower and prepare
for the evening.
Joined the group for a before drink cocktail – for me
a glass of wine and then dinner. Another
glass of wine with dinner put me extremely ready for bed.
