Tuesday evening in Shanghai
Our evening trip took us very hurriedly to Shanghai's Bund. The reason for our rush was that we could not find taxis for all the group and by the time we did everyone ended up having to run so that we didn't miss our boat trip. It certainly helped to raise our heart rates and our steps on the pedometers. Thomas' pedometer started the evening at 1,000 steps and finished at over 8,000 - great work out for everyone!
We had a boat trip up and down the Huangpu River taking in the fantastic sights and bright lights - a sight to behold. I think most people's favourite landmark was the Pearl Tower and we are going up here tomorrow evening - great. See if you can find out what the Bund is and which historic buildings it actually houses?
We finished our evening with a walk along the Bund and then up Nanging Road - China's most famous shopping street. Here Mr Dawson and Mr Thompson managed to buy some designer t shirts at Chinese prices, which made them both very happy!
