Shanghai Thursday
We have had an email from Mr. Dawson which we would like to share with you unfortunately the pictures he sent couldn't be opened
Hi folks
Thursday
Went to West Water. Massive area of lakes, islands and boats.
Breakfast 7:00 return 20:30. A long but memorable day
Travel time approx 7 1/2 hours due to a Chinese national holiday. It was also very busy at the park
the group enjoyed a boat ride and a trip around one of the islands.
We then had yet another extravagant meal (lunch). Nice but I don't know if we needed all ten courses.
Following lunch we returned to the park and went to visit a beautiful pagoda. After learning about the history of the Buddhist building we climbed to the top to sample the breathtaking views.
All in all a worthwhile day. The pupils coped very well with the long journey times
